#3Seems like an automated version of current practices. "Owners" join a network of peers for a specific piece of content, and alert the ISP about offending IPs; ISP sends notices. Now it seems all this can happen automatically.

#6Obviously this is ridiculous, but I find it just absurd.
Who are the ISPs to tell their customers what is morally and legally right or wrong?
Are we not allowed to have a reverse method where we penalize the ISPs for their crimes? Of course not.
Guys, this is Hacker News, the breeding ground of entrepreneurship. One of you may to (for lack of a better buzzword) disrupt the ISP market. At least we have Fiber hopefully coming soon.

It sounds like a lot more than just notices: re-education videos, slower connections.

#10All of these guys aren't just ISPs; they're in the cable TV business. Conflicting interests, really.
