Six Strikes is not a law only a 4 year private agreement. Six 6 Strikes is Phoney it is only a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING not a law.
ISP snooping is disgusting. It isn’t enough to say you have rights you have to use them to prove that have rights.

Six 6 Strikes is Phoney it is only a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING not a law.
Administering “six strikes” is a new entity called the Center for Copyright Information (CCI), which was established by the entertainment industry and the ISP industry. (Internet users were not part of the negotiations.) In other words, Internet users can be punished because of accusations by the copyright industry, but no one is necessarily verifying the claims.
First, this plan is not a law at all. It is a voluntary agreement between copyright holders and ISPs. Second, this plan does not mandate that ISPs completely cut subscribers’ Internet access. The burden of proof on the Internet subscriber, who must prove that he did not illegally download copyrighted content.
It is a 4 year private agreement among the following:

CCI Committee:
The executive board of the CCI includes: chairman Thomas Dailey, vice president and deputy general council at Verizon; executive vice president and general counsel Steven M. Marks, currently the executive vice president and general counsel at the RIAA; and members Marianne Grant, senior vice president for the MPAA; Alan Lewine, senior counsel for Comcast; Daniel Mandil, associate general counsel for Verizon; and Brent Olson, vice president of public policy for AT&T.
The advisory board is made up of Gigi Sohn, president and chief executive of Public Knowledge; Jerry Berman, chairman of the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee; Marsali Hancock, president of iKeepSafe.org; and Jules Polenetsky, director of the Future of Privacy Forum.
CCI says. “The ISP will determine which of its subscriber accounts was allocated the specified IP address at the applicable date and time and then send an alert to the subscriber whose account has been identified. The alert will notify the subscriber that his/her account may have been misused for potentially illegal file sharing, explain and why the action is illegal and a violation of the ISP’s policies and provide advice about how to avoid receiving further alerts as well as how to locate film, television and music content legally.”
CCI also begins doing business as a number of judicial rulings have blocked copyright holders’ attempts to compel ISPs to divulge the IP addresses of customers without a formal lawsuit. The CCI’s partnership between the content creators and ISPs would sidestep that process.
ACCORDING TO THE CCI Executive Committee THEY GET TO DEFINE YOUR RIGHTS ACCORDING TO SOMEONE THEY PICK.

2.4. Fair Use
A Subscriber shall prevail on this defense if the Subscriber adequately and credibly demonstrates fair use of the copyrighted work under prevailing principles of copyright law (which shall be identified as described in section 6).
Page 35 Section 6. Legal Principles to Be Applied in Independent Review.
The Independent Review process will, to the extent relevant, apply prevailing legal principles as determined by United States federal courts. The Administering Organization will commission an accepted, independent expert on copyright law, who is approved by the CCI Executive Committee, to outline prevailing legal principles of fair use for purposes of deciding defenses of fair use, and any other legal principles necessary for resolution of issues within the scope of this Independent Review process. Such outline will be updated from time to time as necessary. If additional material questions of law arise as the Independent Review process is implemented, they may be referred to an accepted, independent expert approved by the CCI Executive Committee as needed. The Administering Organization will advise the Parties to the Agreement of issues referred to, and principles determined by, such an expert, and provide a process for the Parties to the Agreement to provide input concerning the issues, so as to ensure that the expert’s determinations are fully-informed and reflect prevailing law as determined by United States federal courts.

This immediate open-access policy involves extra money taken from science budgets to pay publishers.
22 Feb 2013 | 19:25 GMT | Posted by Richard Van Noorden | Category: Policy
In a long-awaited leap forward for open access, the US government said
today that publications from taxpayer-funded research should be made
free to read after a year’s delay expanding a policy which until now
has only applied to biomedical science.
In a memo, John Holdren, the director of the White House’s Office of
Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), told federal agencies to prepare
plans to make their research results free to read within 12 months after
publication.
“The Obama Administration is committed to the proposition that citizens
deserve easy access to the results of scientific research their tax
dollars have paid for,” the memo says. The OSTP also tells agencies to
maximise public access to non-classified scientific data from research
they fund.
The policy applies to all federal agencies that spend more than $100
million on research and development, and is likely to double the number
of articles made public each year. The US National Institutes of Health
has since 2008 required research to be publicly accessible after 12
months. “This new policy call does not insist that every agency copy the
NIH approach exactly, [but] it does ensure that similar policies will
appear across government,” Holdren wrote today in a separate response to
a petition that had been launched in May 2012, urging the president to
require free access to scientific journal articles from publicly-funded
research. (That has gathered some 64,000 signatures.)
The policy has been a long time in preparation, both at the OSTP and at
federal agencies. The OSTP had already asked for public views on the
subject twice, in 2009 and again in 2011. It had been charged with
improving public access to research under a re-authorization of the
America COMPETES Act, in December 2010. Meanwhile, both the National
Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE) have been
talking to researchers and publishers over the last 18 months about new
public access and data management policies, says Fred Dylla, the
executive director of the American Institute of Physics, a publisher
based in College Park, Maryland.
Federal agencies have been told to provide OSTP with their draft
policies in six months’ time. They are allowed some flexibility, with
the 12-month embargo only a “guideline” suggesting that different
embargo periods might apply in different disciplines. That is a key
concern for publishers, who also want to know whether federal agencies
will set up repositories of their funded work, rather like the NIH’s
PubMed Central (PMC). Martin Frank, executive director at the American
Physiological Society, argues that PMC has pulled viewers away from
accessing articles on publisher sites, for example.
The White House statement comes a week after a bill, FASTR (‘Fair Access
to Science and Technology Research’) , was introduced into the US
Congress which would require public access to papers just six months
after publication.
Whatever the fate of that legislation, it is now clear that US
public-access policy is taking a different direction to that in the UK,
where government-funded science agencies want authors to pay publishers
up-front to make their work free to read immediately. This immediate
open-access policy involves extra money taken from science budgets to
pay publishers. The NSF’s director Subra Suresh explained to Nature that
he could not justify taking money out of basic research to pay for open
access at a time when demand for the agency’s funding was high.
With both the US and Europe supporting delayed-access to publications,
the UK government looks increasingly isolated in its preference for
immediate open access. That policy is due to come in from 1 April, but
the details are not yet clear. Communication around the policy was
yesterday criticized as “unacceptable” by a House of Lords inquiry.”
