Of those participants, almost half stated that the notice itself was erroneous "due to incorrect details, their belief that the content or provider was legal or a lack of knowledge about any file sharing having taken place." The survey by Broadband Genie, a broadband comparison website based in the UK, questioned over 2,000 respondents, of which 3.5 percent had either received one of the new warning letters personally or knew someone who had. Up to 2.5 million such letters are earmarked to be sent over the next three years, but according to new research, the program is failing so far. Hailed as an educational initiative, file sharers of potentially copyrighted content are notified via an educational letter, which directs them to a website informing them of the other viable legal methods of accessing content. We recently reported on a new program initiated by UK ISPs entitled "Get It Right," aimed at educating web users who may be sharing or accessing copyrighted material illegally via websites such as The Pirate Bay, Rarbg, Kickass Torrents, 1337X, Torrentz2, and ExtraTorrent. The Pirate Bay, Rarbg, Kickass Torrents, 1337X, Torrentz2, ExtraTorrent Users Targeted In New Program The program has been sending incorrect warnings to users, and many do not believe the program will have an effect in stopping the access.
A new warning program intended to educate users of file-sharing websites is failing so far.
