January 16, 2009

" UK communications minister Lord Carter has drafted new regulations that
will require ISPs to warn customers suspected of sharing copyrighted
material, that they are acting illegally. Furthermore, ISPs will have
to hand over details of repeated infringers to the entertainment
industry and other rights holders. "

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. ISPs will keep an eye out for illegal activity......but I doubt there will be an big increase of people being caught...if there even is an increase. It's all about the money, and always will be.

The U.K. is the closest country the Western world has to a police state. The United States doesn't approach the severity of the civil liberty violations the U.K. has enforced in the name of public security.

Who's going to pay ISP for those policing work?

[Barbarossa]

I think it's a long way from becoming law.

[Snee]

We'll have a law amounting to about that, pretty much, in march or april, can't remember.

I don't know what to call it, but I know it's not the result of a democratic decision.

[NippleCake]

im sure us taxpayers will end up paying for this invasion of privacy

[Hairbautt]

You poor "bar-stewards."

[drurydd1]

Who’s very brilliant idea was that, they should mind their own business and provide a better, faster and more reliable service. :angry:
