The proposed three-strikes schemes are plainly arbitrary and offer no realistic means of defence.

Just repeating my point as you seem to have missed it...

It
is a breach of the individual's civil liberties, just as being locked up in prison is. But because they're both ordered by a court, they're permitted.
However, disconnection via the BPI's favoured 3-strikes scheme
is not ordered by a court and is therefore an unwarranted infringement of our civil liberties.
