Illegal downloaders 'face UK ban'

People in the UK who go online and illegally download music and films may have their internet access cut under plans the government is considering.

well the simple solution is to rename everything so they say grandmas birthday #1 etc... Sites can stay as is and just rename the torrents being transferred. Maybe we should start making the move now.

Well if we start now, they'll take note and configure whatever plan they have so that when they start this campaign, they'll be ready.

Very true.... Either way, I doubt they'll go through with this because as Forumas said, they would lose tons of customers and they wouldn't like that at all.
