ISP settles with record labels that demanded mass termination of Internet users


One piracy case is over, but the biggest one could be decided by Supreme Court.

Internet service provider Frontier Communications agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by major record labels that demanded mass disconnections of broadband users accused of piracy. Since settlement terms weren't announced, it's not clear whether Frontier is changing its practices to satisfy the copyright holders' demands for mass terminations of broadband subscribers. ISPs have argued that infringement notices sent on behalf of record labels and movie companies are unreliable and that they shouldn't have to terminate customers based on unproven allegations.
