While I like that idea ("I do not give permission for this blog to be carried on MSN or AOL servers; if the contents of this blog are transferred to machines owned by Microsoft or AOL, the uploader is guilty of copyright infringement; if Microsoft or AOL distributes this content, they are likewise guilty"), I have doubts that anyone without a squad of lawyers on retainer is going to get any use out of the 3-strikes rule.
I suspect it's a way for corporations to punish the public, not the other way around. Of course you can't accuse "Microsoft" of copyright infringement... you'd have to sue *the one office worker* whose computer was found guilty of copying your content without permission.
