Realplayer & Eircom

    Hi,

    I was just wondering if downloading a video with realplayer would cause an infringement of the three strikes rule that Eircom imposes.

    My mother switched to the eircom broadband package, and we are unsure a) if this rule is still in place and b) whether software like realplayer would cause us to gain a strike.

    thanks.

    Only if you download it off a peer to peer site, Piratebay or the like. No Torrents.

    Eircom settles with music firms

    "High Court proceedings between Eircom and four music companies - EMI, Sony, Universal and Warners - have been settled on an amicable basis. The proceedings had been in court for eight days.

    Under the settlement, the record companies will supply Eircom with the internet provider addresses of all persons who they detect illegally uploading or downloading copywrite works on a peer to peer basis.

    Eircom has agreed that it would disconnect any broadband subscriber who failed to comply, following a warning they were acting illegally."
