"The Irish Recorded Music Association (Irma) has begun supplying Eircom with "thousands of IP addresses", from which the ISP will initially cross-reference about 50 per week to extract the physical address of identified net pirates."-BBC
The article states the company will start sending out letters to the illegal file sharers, with a follow up phone call or a pop up message from Eircom. They received the addresses with help from a company called Dtecnet, who picked out files sharers away from downloaders.
It also sounds like the three strike rule will be in place, with Eircom suspending internet access from users for a week and a year for further violations.
"The pilot scheme is the conclusion of a long-running dispute between Eircom and Irma. It [Irma] took the ISP [Eircom] to court in January 2009, saying it was not doing enough to protect the intellectual property of its members."-BBC who also state Irma will take other ISPs to court.
