Didn't even know what this was until I looked it up, sounds pretty bs to me, who gives them the right to see what I am doing on the net.

Never heard of anyone I know getting one. 

Notices are sent via your ISP in whatever form you receive your bills. If you get your bills sent through snail mail you will receive a letter, if your bill is emailed to you then you will get an email.

You know how it works right? It only applies to p2p stuff. Basically the movie studios or record labels look at the peers on torrents and log the IP's then send complaints to the ISP's that that ISP belongs to

I'm sure we can all agree it's been a raging success so far. I look forward to the extensions we gain once the TPPA is signed.

No worries here - I have good taste in music which means I'll probably never get a notice. In all seriousness though the only people who have been caught have been downloading mainstream pop music that had just been released - I'm wondering whether the punishment should be for having bad taste rather than downloading copyright material.

So how do they track you if you are behind CG-NAT? Perhaps the censor should be eying these providers too :)

That's a good point - it would be impossible right? Unless the ISP records a massive amount of metadata about each customers traffic and matches it up when the notice is received

We get sent notices all the time from various US studios.

Here's the kicker:

No one ever want to pay the fee we are entitled to charge for passing the notices on, so said notices end up in the department of no one cares.

This is the interesting point. Our ISP provider EOL CEO somewhere in the newspaper mentioned that his network would not receive this 3 strikes because of the CG- NAT. He somehow use this as a selling point? I think that what was implied when I read the article

I suspect the answer to that question is: if the ISP receives a valid notice, it's their problem to figure out exactly who to send it to. 'It's pretty hard to do' isn't an acceptable excuse.

Exactly how it should be. You don't need such spam clogging up important inboxes. :D
