EFF (via Facebook) are providing a link to an article from TechEYE.net which states that the High Court in Dublin has found no legal basis for ISPs to disclose user identities for the purposes of a three strikes disconnection policy. Irish ISP UCP will therefore not be involved in this process until such time as new legislation is brought into the country. This is a good outcome and a great precedent for other common law countries. Irish ISP Eircom however, has already begun implementing a three strikes or graduated response program as part of an out of court settlement with the content industry. It is unclear whether this will continue.
