Title: "Six Strikes" Starts this Weekend Post by: tgmarks on July 03, 2012, 05:56:28 AM I just wanted to point out (as I feel this might be good to know for many bitcoiners) that the "six strikes" agreement is up and running. This is where your ISP agrees to tell on you or discipline you for anything it thinks could be piracy. This is the perfect opportunity to look at the bitcoin economy as a solution. BitcoinTorrentz offers a clear way around this.
Read about "six strikes" here: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/06/30/035226/dont-forget-six-strikes-starts-this-weekend (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/06/30/035226/dont-forget-six-strikes-starts-this-weekend) Check out BitcoinTorrentz here: http://www.bitcointorrentz.com/index.php?ref=oxtvwlv (http://www.bitcointorrentz.com/index.php?ref=oxtvwlv) Title: Re: "Six Strikes" Start this Weekend Post by: pekv2 on July 03, 2012, 06:08:46 AM Hm, I thought it was not suppose to take effect till July 15th.

Might be on but does it not take effect till July 15th? I had read the 12th originally but then this article said possibly the 1st. I just rather not find out the hard way.Title: Re: "Six Strikes" Start this Weekend Post by: pekv2 on July 03, 2012, 06:16:10 AM Hm, I thought it was not suppose to take effect till July 15th.

I just rather not find out the hard way.Wonder if they will strike people using torrenting for open source apps and open source operating systems. Edit: I can see it now, bunch of users striked six times and cut off for downloading mint or ubuntu or something similar.
