Top Internet Providers Cool to RIAA 3-Strikes Plan | Threat Level | Wired.com

Top Internet Providers Cool to RIAA 3-Strikes Plan | Threat Level | Wired.com: "Two weeks after the Recording Industry Association of America announced it had struck deals with top internet service providers to cut off unrepentant music sharers, not a single major ISP will cop to agreeing to the ambitious scheme, and one top broadband company says it’s not on board.
The RIAA’s announcement came as it revealed it was closing down its massive litigation campaign, which has targeted more than 30,000 individuals for allegedly sharing copyrighted music on the internet. Instead of federal lawsuits, the RIAA claims it would now rely on a series of accords it had reached with 'leading' internet service providers, in which the ISPs have agreed to terminate customers the RIAA catches uploading three times, the association said."
