Ed Felten Proposes “Three Strikes” Copyright Law for Print
Ed Felten has proposed "three strikes" copyright law for print.
Here's an excerpt from "A Modest Proposal: Three-Strikes for Print":
My proposed system is simplicity itself. The government sets up a registry of accused infringers. Anybody can send a complaint to the registry, asserting that someone is infringing their copyright in the print medium. If the government registry receives three complaints about a person, that person is banned for a year from using print.
As in the Internet case, the ban applies to both reading and writing, and to all uses of print, including informal ones. In short, a banned person may not write or read anything for a year.
