Seems fairly reasonable, a key point is that people aren't going to be cut off arbitrarily.

The 'licence to sue' seems ok so long as it's not abused in the manner Sirius describes as a substitute for offering content in more convenient ways.

My one major frustration is that this does nothing for serial downloaders from newsgroups but will instead punish those who use P2P which will perversely push them into giving money to Paedoshare and newsgroup services who profit from supplying content.
