    Irish ISP Offers Music Streaming Service In Exchange For Three-Strikes Monitoring

    Irish ISP Eircom is going to provide three-strikes monitoring to help protect the business model of record labels, but will sweeten the deal for subscribers by offering unlimited music streaming, and discounted music purchases.

    Eircom will now implement a three-strikes system where subscribers can be banned for up to 12 month. A seven day suspension occurs after the third warning, and any subsequent warnings will lead to the 12 month ban.

    In exchange, users will have access to MusicHub, which allows unlimited, ad free streaming of music from major labels such as Universal Music, Sony, EMI, Warner Music and Merlin. Music can also be purchased as part of subscription plans, including plans for purchasing 15 tracks for €5.99 up to 40 tracks for €12.99.

    Eircom is hoping this sweetener will entice existing subscribers to stay with the ISP, and not move to another ISP that does not as yet monitor for three-strikes.

    ISP Eircom, the company pioneering a 3 strikes scheme for illicit file-sharers in Ireland, has been outlining the details of the regime it will implement in conjunction with the music industry. Eircom customers will be offered a music streaming service as part of their subscription but for those who choose to continue to share files, 12 months disconnections are on the horizon.
