Submission + - Irish Supreme Court Upholds Three-Strikes Rule Against Illegal Downloads (irishtimes.com)

Makes you wonder whether the High Court would have upheld it, had the Data Commissioner given reasons ... which seemed quite justified: In September 2011, the Commissioner told Eircom the complainant subscriber had restated his original complaint and alleged Eircom’s monitoring of his internet use breached his data protection rights.
