We have had that in effect for some time now, but it seems to have made little difference. The ISPs won against court case that sought to hold them responsible for their user's actions. The worst you get now is a "naughty-naughty" warning from them. I have yet to hear of anyone actually being cut off. One ISP, if it finds a user using a torrent to download pirated files, will temporarily drop the customer's speed back to 64Kb/s. That's slower than dial-up. When the customer realises that it will take them months to download a new release HD movie they give up and their speed is restored.
With QuickFlix being so cheap, and the downloads so fast, why bother pirating? Quickflix has current release movies available at less than the cost of a single cinema ticket. It also has a huge library of 50,000 older movies and most popular TV shows. $14.99 dollars a month for unlimited downloads.
