Major US Internet providers—including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Cablevision, and Time Warner Cable—have just signed on to a voluntary agreement with the movie and music businesses to crack down on online copyright infringers.
The policy features a graduated series of responses to infringing activity, ranging from "educational" warnings to throttling of connection speeds.

authorship.
The
Society of Authors
warns that authors will simply stop writing if they aren't compensated for piracy of their work (

for the benefit of the major labels, in exchange for halting the lawsuits that have thus far been their mainstay weapon against piracy.
