Graduated response regimes that warn and then penalize users for infringing file sharing do not appear to work (http://www.itnews.com.au/News/356360,three-strikes-laws-do-not-reduce-online-piracy-study.aspx), new research from Monash University in Australia has found. The paper studied 'three strikes' laws (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2322516) (abstract, freely downloadable as a PDF from there) in France, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and the UK, as well as other anti-filesharing regimes in the U.S. and Ireland, but found scant evidence that they're effective."
