Copyright pirates could lose their Internet access via AT&T

AT&T could cut off their users' Internet access if they are suspected of violating copyright law, according to a letter the company sent to suspected copyright infringers. TorrentFreak has obtained and published the letter recently. The key paragraph reads as follows:

"Through the Copyright Alert Program, users are given an opportunity to understand and change behavior that may be resulting in Copyright Alerts. However, if they receive multiple Copyright Alerts, they may encounter corrective action — or mitigation measures — which may limit or inhibit Internet access."

AT&T assures the person reading this that they have not taken any action to date, and that "we'll let you know when mitigation measures are pending, should any be necessary." At that point, it helpfully states that you may request an "Independent Review," and reminds you to hang on to any documentation that might help you prove that your use of the content in question was non-infringing.
