Re: “Six Strikes” Anti-Piracy Scheme Overly Secret and Unfair...
The Center for Copyright Information (CCI) is an American organization created by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) which aims to reduce online copyright infringement through a graduated response scheme called the Copyright Alert System.
I had to look it up, because as a European, one would think that an organization with that kind of power must be governmental.
Since when can a non-governmental organization without any jurisdiction, impose sanctions on an individual?
In which type of court setting can the individual argue his/her case?
So the corporations involved, are making their own laws.
It reminds me of the movie "Robocop" where a private company took over law and order.
What is the government and law's point of view in all of this?
