Google Fiber Sends Automated Piracy ‘Fines’ to Subscribers

It seems Google has now automated the process of accusing you of piracy, finding you guilty and handing out fines for your misdeeds. They'll be sending a self-driving car over to pick up the check.

Google Fiber is forwarding copyright infringement notices to its subscribers including controversial and automated piracy fines. Through these notices, rightsholders demand settlements of up to hundreds of dollars. Google's decision to forward these emails is surprising, as the company generally has a good track record of protecting consumer interests.
