'Three strikes' laws will be expensive for ISPs

According to new reports coming out of France, any ISP willing to join the
RIAA in its "three strikes" your out laws against piracy will have to spend a
lot of money to enforce the rules, as much as 16 million USD per year.
Although the laws have been struck down by the EP and the German government,
they have been adopted in New Zealand and is moving towards adoption in
France, where President Nicolas Sarkozy is a big proponent.

The 'three strikes' rules would give alleged pirates two email or written
warnings from their ISP before they have their Internet connection completely
shut off and their name blacklisted.
The French newspaper La Liberation added that if France were to adopt the
rules, the bill could "trigger around 10,000 warning e-mails, 3000 letters and
1000 decisions about Internet cut-offs per day," forcing the ISPs to hire new
workers and incur new costs.
Non-compliance with the RIAA and MPAA would also be expensive for the ISPs,
as it is expected that any declined warning message will cost the ISPs a $6000
USD fine.
===================================
You didn't actually think the RIAA and MPAA would pay for there own idea
did you.
If you end up cutting off 1000 connections per day who is going to be your
customer?
Where are you going to get $ to run your ISP business from?
