It's bollocks

"The British government has repeatedly threatened ISPs with 'three strikes and you're out' legislation if they don't agree a voluntary system to disconnect illegal filesharers. ISPs aren't keen to shoulder the costs of monitoring or to adopt the role of policemen. Signing up to a 'voluntary' code is probably the only way they can avoid - or more likely mute - legislation." as theregister.co.uk puts it.
