So the wordings and messages have been made at least for Comcast (and Verizon). A good article as the source, but here's the warning:

I'm happy since this shit doesn't affect me in Abu Dhabi, actually I have been thinking of upgrading my internet connection to 300MBs and I was shitting bricks because of this.

what are they going to do for everyone who doesn't monitor their ISP given e-mail account, doesn't have access to it, lives in a building with a network and no ISP e-mail account, etc?

i read something about pop-ups at one point but now its all e-mail warnings that i'm reading about.

i keep thinking, what if that 1 person in the building ruins it for everyone. maybe its time for smart routing tables and routers with VPN bittorrent rules. there could be a market here for a 1 click solution.

According to Ars, it's a pop-up type thing with more info in the e-mail you've provided (or perhaps the ISP's e-mail service?). I'd imagine you can't go forward with your internet business if you don't click the "I understand"-button..

In good old Austria (NOT AUSTRALIA, we are south of Germany and gave you Schwarzenegger) downloading is legal. Everything. You want to know why? Because we have a special tax on Harddrives (we had those on CDs and tapes too) that goes directly to the copyright holders (as a flatrate, so to speak) that is actually quite low (just a few bucks yu pay more when you buy a new HDD).
So basically I can download pretty much everything and nobody cares.

Yeah, but I don't use proxy. Let's hope the feds get false IP info from time to time, too.

Good luck with that. Finland has the same kind of system (includes HDDs, Memory cards, DVDs, CDs, etc), but it's still illegal to download from an unauthorized source. Sure it'll end in the long run (or at least I'm hopeful), but there have been quite a few law suits in regards to downloading from "illegal sources".

thanx^^ but it has been like that since the republic was re-established in 1955 and pretty much every politician argues that this is the way it will stay. but you are right, things might change.

[Thomas83Lin]

Still no warnings yet , waiting for my first strike before joining a vpn. what's a recommend vpn btw?

 

[MushGuy]

I am also waiting for a recommendation, because I moved in to my cousins' house, and I got a strike from their Verizon. It seems that videogame soundtracks are not safe either.

Sucks to be American, I know. This is supposed to be the land of freedom, too.

Right. Being American is unbearable...
Pretty sure the only shitty part of America when compared to the rest of the world is how fat I feel right now... Everything else just boils down to differing opinions and/or where your moral compass points. And you don't get hung or shot for that here, mostly.
