Dear
Erik,
Some of the top American ISPs are
moving ahead with a backroom deal to
set up a "graduated response" system
for addressing copyright infringement
accusations. And while the major media
groups had a say in how the policy was
shaped, the millions of subscribers
who will be affected by it were not
invited to the table.
The details of the agreement are not
yet finalized, but the real danger is
the framework that is now in place.
Once the program launches on July 1,
the media groups will be pressuring
the ISPs to add harsher penalties.
Click
here to join EFF in demanding
that the ISPs make a clear and
public commitment that they won't
use the "graduated response" program
to cut their subscribers off of the
Internet after "six strikes."
![Act
now]()
The Internet is an increasingly
important part of daily life for the
millions of subscribers these ISPs
represent. We can't let it be cut off
for unproven accusations of
infringement from a publisher, record
label, or movie studio.
Defending your digital rights,
Parker Higgins
