It is very common that majority users of internet download movies, music and software’s

Few ISP already issue notices to customers when they find that the customer is using or doing illegal activity using his internet account.

But now ISP and industry has joined the hands to stop the illegal activities of internet user.
Now after this agreement all the ISPs will follow same procedure.

Exactly how this will?

A third-party will monitor file-sharing networks and collect the IP-addresses of suspected infringers.
These will then be added to a database and forwarded to the Internet provider who will send a corresponding copyright alert.

The owner of the content knows the IP address of the machine where pirated material is kept for downloading.

Your Internet Provider knows your IP address and your activities what you are doing on the internet.

Now the content owner will inform the ISP that this is the IP address where Pirated movies or pirated material is kept for downloading.

After this Your ISP will match your IP address and your activities and if ISP finds that
You downloaded movies from that IP address.

For doing this you will receive a First Notice or Initial Notice informing you that his or her internet account was allegedly used to share copyrighted content, and how to prevent this from happening in the future. The warning notice will include educational resources for how not to be a pirate.

After this they expect that you will stop downloading illegal material using internet service.

After getting this notice if you will ignore and keep downloading pirated material you will receive five or six times warning notices informing that stop your illegal activities.
Stop downloading illegal music or TV shows or Movies etc.

Each time a user is caught offering copyrighted material, that user will get an increasingly strident warning from his ISP.

First two warning notices will be same.
After 3rd notice you will be required to acknowledged that you have received a notice
Probably through a click-thru pop-up notice.

After 5 or 6 Notices ISP will start to take action against you.
What Action ISP will take –?

1. Digital Millennium Copyright Act already requires ISPs to have a termination policy in effect

2. temporary reductions of Internet speeds

3. redirection to a landing page until you contact your ISP to discuss the matter

4. if a copyright holder sues you for illegal downloading, the ISP can say it took measures to stop the activity and cannot be held liable for your activity
