The Center for Copyright Information (CCI) has announced that the kickoff of the Copyright Alert System six strikes program is to be postponed until next year. We’d like to think that the INET New York, which raised plenty of concerns about details of the program, had something to do with it. In keeping with the Internet Society’s accessibility policy we have taken the trouble to have the entire event transcribed and added closed captions to the archived video, see below. Audio is also available.
On Thursday November 15 2012 the Internet Society’s North American Bureau in collaboration with its New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) will present INET New York: An Open Forum on The Copyright Alert System – a half-day conference at New York Law School. Public advocacy organizations and Internet users will have the opportunity to participate in a multistakeholder dialogue on key issues relating to the Copyright Alert System (CAS) – sometimes called the 6 strikes program, and due to kick off on November 28 2012 – with representatives and members of the Center for Copyright Information (CCI) which is administering the system.
Registration is now open (free), and you can also ask questions in advance, via the links below. It is not necessary to register for the webcast, but you can via our meetup group.
Noon On Friday March 8 2013, the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee(ICAC) hosted “Combating Piracy Online: The Copyright Alert System, A Voluntary Approach” to discuss the recently introduced Copyright Alert System (CAS), aka 6 Strikes program, which ISOC-NY itself examined in November. The CAS is operated by the Center for Copyright Information (CCI) and speakers included members of the the CCI executive, board and advisory council. It was webcast, and televised, live by CSPAN. Video is archived. In this clip Marianne Grant of the MPAA goes into detail of the actual mechanisms of the system.
