The entertainment’s industry new piracy warnings to computer users started flowing Monday as the industry and internet service providers finally launched their long-promised Copyright Alert System.
Announced in 2011 and originally set to begin by the end of 2012, the alert system is an effort by the movie, TV and recording industries and major cable providers to move much more swiftly to issue warnings whenever copyright owners discover that an account is being used to access or download pirated content. ...
Announced in 2011. These folks don't like to leap into anything too rapidly, do they?
Of course, trying to get new anti piracy laws through congress kind of blew up in Hollywood's face last year, as newer industries (Google, anyone?) had the leverage to stop old media's wish-list in its tracks.
