Approach
According to Barry Sookman and Dan Glover, the main characteristics of these initiatives are:
- "Rights holders monitor P2P networks for illegal downloading activities"
- "Rights holders provide ISPs with convincing proof of infringements being committed by an individual at a given IP address"
- "Educational notices are sent through an ISP to the account holder informing him or her of the infringements and of the consequences of continued infringement and informing the user that content can be lawfully acquired online"
- "If the account holder repeatedly ignores the notices, a tribunal may take deterrent action, with the most severe sanctions reserved for a court"

Famous quotes containing the word approach:
“Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Oh! mystery of man, from what a depth
Proceed thy honours. I am lost, but see
In simple childhood something of the base
On which thy greatness stands; but this I feel,
That from thyself it comes, that thou must give,
Else never canst receive. The days gone by
Return upon me almost from the dawn
Of life: the hiding-places of man’s power
Open; I would approach them, but they close.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“I approach these questions unwillingly, as it wounds, but no cure can be effected without touching upon and handling them.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
