This thread got ignored, but Marc John Randazza, Esq. from Randazza Legal Group recently posted the quoted text below on another board.

Quote:
The EFF is pushing to have people write to the ISPs to tell them not to implement the "six strikes" rule.
In other words, their position is that you make the content, you do the 2257 work, you do the worrying about payroll, model agreements, production, etc. Then, someone who steals your work should not be prosecuted, should not be sued, and NOW shouldn't even have their internet access threatened.
Here's their petition link:

Here's the good news -- you can change the text and write to the ISPs IN FAVOR of six strikes. Complain that they made this deal with the major studios, but they don't care about THIS industry. Or, if you work for one of the few theft-monger companies that come to the conferences, go ahead and write that you are against Six Strikes.
The point is, the EFF is going to use this drive to show massive protests against Six Strikes. As far as I'm concerned, if you use MY services to break the law ONCE, I'm going to fire you as a client. I don't see anything wrong with Time Warner (who makes movies too) saying "if we catch you stealing SIX TIMES, we just migh slow down your internet connection for a while."

If you care about your content, you may want to go to
https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/...ic/?action_KEY and re-write the letter to state something like:
Subject:
Please Implement the six strikes to cut off the thief on your network
Your Letter:
As a Content Provider and Fiber Customer, I need to know my ISP is defending my freedom to create content. Using the "six strikes" graduated response to cut off users is a good step to stop the thief who profit from my content.
Please make a commitment today with a public statement that you will use the "six strikes" to cut off the thief on your network.
Sincerely,
