AT&T Starts Six-Strikes Anti-Piracy Plan Next Month

In leaked AT&T training documents, a plan for dealing with illegal content repeat offenders was detailed. The plan, which is to be instituted on November 28th, includes warning emails followed by site blocking with an online‘re-education’ training class. Other Internet providers are expected to follow suit on the same day.

When repeated infringers try to access certain websites they will be redirected to an educational page. To lift the blockade, AT&T will require these customers to complete an "online education tutorial on copyright".
