Aside from stating that the trial was not a "three strikes" plan, as some media outlets had reported, Balmoris would not directly confirm nor deny whether any customer accounts had been or could potentially be terminated as part of the process. Rather, he simply stated that the company had found the majority of customers stopped the behavior on their own once after receiving the notices.

Some early reports had suggested Comcast was also involved in an RIAA-oriented plan; however, a Comcast spokesperson says its policies and procedures have not changed.

"Comcast, like other major ISPs, forwards notices of alleged infringement that we receive from music, movie, videogame, and other content owners to our customers. This is the same process we've had in place for years," says Comcast's Charlie Douglas.

"While we have always supported copyright holders in their efforts to reduce piracy under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and continue to do so, we have no plans to test a so-called 'three-strikes-and-you're-out' policy," he adds.
