huh? i clicked your thread title and read the above post and was hopeful that there was some new law with big fang being planned. So I clicked the link to the article ...... where do you see anything about 'steel bars hotel'? all i see is another toothless law that won't do a thing in the battle against piracy.
in a nutshell here is what may happen to a pirate:
1)Throttling subscriber bandwidth speeds
2)Limiting subscriber access to websites (eg, restricting access to the top 200 sites until the contested behavior stops)
3)Requiring the subscriber to participate in an educational program on copyright
Terminating Internet access is not being considered, the report says. The cost of this agreement will be shared by the ISPs and content providers.
i'm sure content thieves are going to be shaking in their boots when they're faced with giving up a Saturday to attend an educational course on copyright
