"Based on the notices we received, we identified the customer on the account and shared with them the information we received. We also reached out to the customer to educate them about copyright infringement and offer assistance to help prevent the activity from continuing," said an AT&T spokesperson.

"A small number of customers who continue to receive additional copyright infringement notifications from content owners despite our efforts to educate them, will have their service discontinued.”

As if they don't know it's wrong. Any updates on the piracy/looting issue? Seems like nothing changes.

AT&T owns a content company now so instead of just providing safe haven piracy they now get to be victims of it.

It's a conflict, similar to when the hardware side of Sony was in favor of using piracy to sell their stuff while the content side of Sony was getting screwed.

If only a few people are getting their service cut off they may be just focusing on piracy on an industrial scale. And Verizon and others probably won't follow suit unless they get involved on the content side.

The bigger picture: This is one of many complicated issues that is now surfacing in light of AT&T's historic $85 billion takeover of Time Warner in June.

The big picture is that they are about to all be directly competing on providing 5G bandwidth which is going to drive rates down. Exclusive or reduced-price access to "content" is the only way they can possibly compete in the near future.
