US "Six Strikes" Anti-Piracy Scheme Delayed

Attention citizens: We will have our "six strikes" system in place by the end of 2011! Errr, wait...how about July 2012? No? It will be here eventually! Thank you for your patience. Sincerely, the RIAA/MPAA

"The dates mentioned in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) are not hard deadlines but were intended to keep us on track to have the Copyright Alert System up and running as quickly as possible and in the most consumer friendly manner possible," a spokesperson told us. "We do not intend to launch until we are confident that the program is consumer friendly and able to be implemented in a manner consistent with all of the goals of the MOU. We expect our implementation to begin later this year."
