Here’s what an actual "Six Strikes" copyright alert looks like

Earlier this week, the Copyright Alert System (CAS)—better known as “Six Strikes”—finally debuted. On Wednesday, both Verizon and Comcast activated the service.

The new system is funded by a group known as the Center for Copyright Information (CCI), which is made up of five major American ISPs, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It’s been in the works for years and may provide a significant change to the copyright infringement policing regime in the United States.
