article published on 12 October, 2010
The High Court in Dublin has ruled that there is no precedent in Irish law to force Internet Service Providers (ISP) to identify and disconnect subscribers accused to sharing music and other content illegally over the Internet. UPC, one of the largest ISPs in Ireland, is not now required to take part in the same three strikes program that Ireland's largest ISP, Eircom, is currently using.

this has to be one of most biased judges around.
failing to take into account there is no evidence what so ever to back up the claims of irma

The Judge might be biased but he had to follow Irish law and rule agaist the Record Labels. The people of Ireland should dump Eircom. Who said Paddy was thick?

Although I call myself Frogfart that title should go to President Sarkozy who wants Three Strikes mandatory throughout Europe. I apoligise to the French Nation for calling the President a Frog but he's a f****** wee fart!

The media will take any 'free' shots it can. Bribing and influencing are 'free'. Policing the world is expensive especially when what they want is pushing the laws of most nations at best.

Don't call Szarkozy the Magyar----No more than they call you the American or whatever. Just because he is of Hungarian descent, don't forget he dominates Fwance (no that is NOT a misspell)He is a complete traitor to his basic country. Besides all that he is not too smart......(Can't tie his shoes)Addled is the word!!!! His wife looks GOOD.

I am not American, and I'll call him whatever I want, thanks all the same. If he can't tie his shoes (sic) yet can manage to become President of France what does that make you?

It never ceases to amaze me how the music labels insist on the ISPs to proactively monitor their network for pirated material, and punish those that are involved with it. You never see or hear about how the labels contributed cash to help defray these costs. So the ISP gets the honor of subsidizing their business model. Which the cost, of course, gets passed on to the ISPs customer base.

Are you daft! They are the ones setting the rates. On many there are almost pure profit. The media pays someone a dollar a disk to destroy CDs and DVDs if they can't get asking price rather than reduce the price a dollar. That is way they are going out of business. They would love to chain you to a wall and whip the money out of you. They would prefer to spend their money punishing you than give you a break.
That is why some people don't like them.

I think you mistake my amazement for some kind of naivette. Nothing could be further from the truth. Various groups from the music industry have tried to place the onus of combatting music piracy on the ISPs. The ones that care about their customer base will refuse. The ones that don't, will capitulate, and pass the operating cost of that capitulation on to their customers. So, again they would receive a subsidy of their business model. (We must not forget they also receive a cut of every blank media sold.)
