In the Top Tech Stories of The Wall Street Journal, Fri. Dec. 19, 2008, a decision by The Recording Industry Association of America (R.I.A.A.) to combat music piracy, is asking Internet Service Providers for assistance. How will it work?

“Depending on the agreement, the ISP will either forward the note to customers, or alert customers that they appear to be uploading music illegally, and ask them to stop. If the customers continue the file-sharing, they will get one or two more emails, perhaps accompanied by slower service from the provider. Finally, the ISP may cut off their access altogether. “
