On this week's show, we are asking our listeners to share their experiences with new Copyright Alert System (CAS), also known as "Six Strikes." We wanted to know what this system looks like in practice - whether people are getting these alerts accidentally, what they look like, etc. This week, we're getting the first glimpse.

The Copyright Alert System (CAS), known colloquially as "Six Strikes" is being launched today. This program will enact punitive measures against people sharing copyrighted material, up to and including temporarily slowing down their internet and blocking certain cites.

We want to track this program - see how well it's working, whether it's throwing false positives, and what these measures look like. We need your help to do that.

Sometime in the next few months, the five major US Internet Service Providers will implement what is called the "Copyright Alert System," known colloquially as "six strikes." Brooke talks to Jill Lesser, Executive Director of industry group the Center for Copyright Information, about how the six strikes program will work.
