American ISP companies sign on to "6 Strike Law".

Mirroring much of what we see going on overseas,  the top ISP provider's in America have voluntarily signed off on a 6 strikes policy towards Copyright Infringement.   

Much of the scheme mirrors what ISPs do now. Copyright holders will scan the 'Net for infringement, grabbing suspect IP addresses from peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. If they see your IP address participating in a swarm for, say, Harry Potter, they will look up that IP address to see which ISP controls it, then fire off a message.

ISPs have committed to forward such notices to subscribers—though, crucially, they won't turn over actual subscriber names or addresses without a court order. This is a one-way notification process.  What it ultimately means for aggressive repeated offenders is unclear.  ISP's certainly do not want to kick customers offline, they do not wan to lose that monthly bill, so where this is ultimately going is unclear.
