How would you feel if someone just 'said' you had murdered someone. Offered no proof aside from hearsay.

In a previous post I stated to Gideon that for my example this person would be accused of the crime, allowed to mount a defense, given access to legal resources and have a trial by jury just like anyone else who is accused of a crime. I then asked if a person faced that type of evidence and was found guilty by a jury multiple times (in this case we were talkig about 3 times) did he feel it was okay that they lose access to the internet because they are using the internet to commit their crime.

Gideon would only agree that they should lose access to the internet if the copyright holders lost control of their copyright if they wrong three times. He didn't expound. Does this mean just wrongly accusing people or does this mean that they lose the case in court? He didn't say.
