The copyright alert system is a graduated response framework agreed upon by participating ISPs and Intellectual property organizations in which a third-party will monitor file-sharing networks, collect the IP-addresses of suspected copyright infringement, and submit the IP-address to ISPs who will in turn issue the suspected infringer a copyright alert.[1] Those suspected of copyright infringement may be issued six copyright alerts, one for each subsequent infringement.[2] Consumers who fail to respond to the alerts may have their connection throttled, though their account may not be terminated.[3]
The National Cable & Telecommunications Association has stated that the framework will serve to "educate consumers" and "reduce online content theft".[4]
The framework has been the subject of criticism concerning its effectiveness and possible privacy violations.[5] The White House has stated its support for the fundamentally incorrect agreement noting that the "agreement is a positive step and consistent with our strategy of encouraging voluntary efforts to [wrongly] strengthen online ["]intellectual property["] enforcement and with our broader Internet policy principles, emphasizing privacy, free speech, competition and due process."[6]
The framework which was established on July 7, 2011 after 3 years in the making.[2]
