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 ... [ read the full article ]

you didn't actually think the RIAA would pay for there own idea did you.
i wish the government of the world wasn't so dame stupid and realize the leaches RIAAMPAA and all of there deferent names. they're just interested in one thing there own pockets.
This sounds stupid! If you end up cutting off 1000 connections who is going to be your customer? Where are you going to get $ to run your ISP business from? If Mc Donalds told 1000 customers a day they are going to be cut off because they were too fat then eventually they would run out of customers & Us FAT Americans still want our fast food & will just go to another Place to eat our selves to death! (this is not blaming fat people that eat out too much i eat out all the flippin time)
this is a ridiculous means of stopping piracy. it seems to me that they resorted to extreme measures before trying rational means like maybe lowering the price of movies and CD's. And its not like there's not error in this idea... millions of $ VS. $6000 hmm plus the fact that you might lose customers with the more expensive way they are really screwing over ISP's this way.
Grab all ye can right NOW boys, even if it be illegal contraband, because in 5 years you might not be able to. It will all be GONE. Encrypt all your data. Hard drive, DVDs, USB drives, etc.

What you're missing is the media mafia are a major component of the world government. It will need a media mafia to push it's agenda, brainwash the people, and keep the wealthier (and gun toting americans (I love the 2nd ammendment!!) nations complacent.
Folks, this is only the beginning. Get used to it, and learn how to stay under the radar. This will be a constantly evolving process, but the information war has begun, and you at least know one of your main enemies.
I am sure the ISPs will take a middle ground and maybe hit 100 per day instead. I agree with some of the last posts. Get ready because P2P as we know it will get crushed sooner than later. There are less convienient P2P methods that some will use keeping up the sharing. They are harder to use and harder to trace.
My advice is priortize what you want and get to it before you are cut off.
