And if you send him $500,000 you can meet with him 4 times a year and he might even throw in an ambassadorship.

I am going to go against the grain here, but on a quick read, this seems more than fair to me.

“A person will be given up to six opportunities to stop before the Internet provider will take more drastic steps, such as temporarily slowing their connection, or redirecting Internet traffic until they acknowledge they received a notice or review educational materials about copyright law.

Consumers who maintain they have been wrongly accused would be forced to pay $35 to appeal the decision. The fee would be reimbursed if they prevail.”

Compare this with some of the previous attempts where you get some kid sharing some CD tracks, and gets hauled into court and hit with fines north of $100,000 for sharing $15 worth of music.

If you get warned 3-4-5 times, seems to me you have ample opportunity to figure out what is going on, and avoid any problems.
