[quote:Anonymous Coward 35515361:MV8yMTU1MTI1XzM2NDUyNjc2XzhFRTc1OUY3] he says the way it works is the copyright holder has to monitor the torrents and if the copyright holder sees a comcast IP, then they report it to comcast otherwise he just told me I had to call Comcast Security Assurance at 877-542-2112.

Comcast revealed today how it will deal with customers who receive multiple warnings under the newly launched “six-strikes” anti-piracy system. After four alerts the ISP will “hijack” web-browsers of suspected serial pirates with a persistent pop-up notification, making it impossible to browse the Internet. The pop-up will disappear after the customer “resolves the issue” with a Customer Security Assurance professional.
In common with other ISPs, Comcast will start out with friendly alerts informing customers that their account has been used to share copyrighted material. After four warnings, repeated offenders will then enter the “mitigation phase” during which their service will be interrupted.
Comcast has chosen a browser “hijack,” making it impossible for customers to browse the Internet, but without interrupting VOIP and other essential services.
