Just reading another article on the same site

/“We won’t reveal the identities of the users, but we will contact
them and if they fail to comply we will follow the process agreed

that will begin with the issuing of a warning./
So if Eircom are not revealing the identites, and just disconnecting the
user, the following comes to mind.
How are the industry going to pursue this in court if the details of the
users are not being released ?
Whats to stop disconnected people from signing up with another ISP after
disconnection?
