Cable company Altice agreed to give Warner and other record labels the names and contact information of 100 broadband subscribers who were accused of pirating songs.

    Altice failed to terminate repeat infringers whose IP addresses were flagged in these copyright notices, the lawsuit said.

    So the record label thinks it should have the power to cut off people’s internet service, upon which most people depend for at least some basic essentials of living, by simply accusing them of copyright infringement.

    I hope the record label is severely punished for this abuse of the (publicly funded) justice system.
