Plans for a US piracy crackdown have been delayed, with the group co-ordinating the programme blaming Hurricane Sandy.

The controversial "six strikes" system, where illegal downloaders are sent a series of letters, was originally due to go live in 2011.

The storm has "seriously affected our final testing schedules", said the Center for Copyright Information.

The letters will now be sent in the early part of 2013, it said.

Oh you silly Hurricane! You delayed what was meant to launch in 2011!

Anyways, people will either become more sneaky or the internet will become a scary(scarier?) place.
