These notices take time to track down and follow up on. If we charged $20 every time it would make it not really worth it to pirate that $10 movie. I would think that it should be legal, so long as we add it to our customer agreement. Anyone ever thought about this? Right now we pass on 5 of them and then make them find a new provider. It seems like they would be less likely to hit 5 if they had to pay $20 for each one. We really don't want these guys on our network anyway, so no sweat if they just cancel. Is anyone out there charging customers a fee for these? I know most of you just ignore them, but we like passing them on, as it lowers our overall usage.
