Thank you for posting this Mindy, I had not heard about this either. Then I

  Has anyone been involved in the Copyright Alert System (CAS)?

 From Wednesday's Cynopsis:

How do you combat internet piracy? You give consumers six strikes --
sort of. The Center for Copyright Information, a joint venture of
entertainment copyright holders and internet service providers (ISPs),
has launched the Copyright Alert System (CAS). Here's how it works: A
content owner/copyright holder will notify a participating ISP if they
believe a consumer has been illegally downloading digital content like a
movie or TV show. The ISP will then send a notice to the allegedly
guilty party. Consumers get six strikes. Potential actions from an ISP
include temporary reductions in internet speed and redirecting consumers
to a landing page until they contact the ISP and/or complete a copyright
education program.
