BSA endorses three strikes plan

The chances of any entertainment cartel-inspired three strikes-and-you’re-gone ‘graduated response’ plan actually seeing true light of day are about as likely as the RIAA or MPAA telling the truth about file sharing. The scheme to coerce governments into trying to force local ISPs into acting as personal corporate copyright cops may spark briefly into being here and there, but if it does, the experience will be short and sharp for both the government(s) concerned, and Hollywood and the Big 4 record labels, which are wholly and solely responsible for the ridiculous measure, pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into lobbying and ‘contributions’ in their efforts to make it happen. To their everlasting shame, Britain, France, New Zealand and Australia are stand-outs which seem determined to act against the interests of their citizens at the command of Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music, and Time-Warner, Fox, Disney, Columbia, Paramount, MGM.
