This just shows how out of touch the UK govt is. I wonder which Labour sponser lobbied for this. The government assume this is a hardcore minority. I'm not an illegal filesharer, but I sure know a lot people that do. I don't think it's a small minority. Questions...
- How do you define 'illegal fileshare'? Based on the network used? The content of the file?
- How would this be implemented? Would the ISP do the blocking?
- What's to stop the 'criminal' from using a wifi connection elsewhere?
- What effect does this have on the neutrality of the net in the UK?
- NikkiA 17y agoI wonder which Labour sponser lobbied for this. None of them per se. This is Mandelson's baby, of course the fact that he's been in bed (pun or telling?) with hollywood execs over the last few months, tells you a lot. Labour knows they're pretty much finished, NuLabour perhaps irrevocably so, and are just trying to setup their own little cushy cash cows before June.
