The Copyright Police are Out to Get You

How does one stop one's copyrighted material from being illegally distributed and downloaded? As outlined in the Cnet article, found at the following URL: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10437176-93.html?tag=mncol;title, Verizon has implemented an interesting solution. They have started cutting off the offenders from the internet. This might seem like a breach in contract, but I feel that it is an amazing solution. It does not cause expensive drawn out legal battles and still stops the offenders from continuing to distribute or download the copyrighted material. I do not think that this is a cure all, but it is a step in the right direction.
