‘Three Strikes’: Regulatory Obligations on ISPs
Chair: Dr Mathias Klang: Senior Lecturer, Department of Applied IT, Göteborg University, Sweden
This session will focus on current legal and regulatory attempts in different European countries to reduce levels of filesharing. A panel of representatives of a variety of stakeholder groups will discuss the ‘three strikes’ or graduated response strategies currently under implementation in France and the UK, and the associated regulatory obligations placed on ISPs to take action on filesharing. Participants will outline their perspective on such strategies, their efficacy and potential impacts on consumer behaviour, as well as the challenges associated with implementation.
