Three Strikes.

[swestrup]

There are a large number of three-strikes proposals being made around the world right now, where an ISP would be required to cut off Internet service to anyone merely being accused of copyright infringement on three separate occasions. Cory Doctorow proposes a turn-about-is-fair-play suggestion that any company falsely making three copyright-infringement claims against others have their ISPs cut off their service. Now THAT is something that I could get behind.

Speaking of which, if the doctrine of self-help says that it is legitimate for vendors to use invasive techniques to remotely disable things that they argue that I have not properly licensed from them, does it not follow that I can use similarly invasive techniques when *they* violate their license--as, for example, by failing to provide me with the access I have bought? How not?
