Surely if ISP's are made to pay this money they would have little option other than to pass these costs onto their customers ?.What about customers who never done anything ?,why should they be made to pay ?.Also there was part of that article which caught my attention :
''Under a scheme outlined earlier this year, rights holders will send IP address of customers caught downloading copyrighted material to Britain's major ISPs, which will then send warning letters to subscribers, with the potential for legal action for anyone sent three notifications within a year.''
''Britains Major ISP's'',what about ISP's that are not classed as ''Major'' ?.Also,once someone has had a second warning letter what is stopping them simply changing ISP's and presumably zeroing the count ?.
Seems like a pretty ill thought out effort from Dave and the boys at number 10 to me ?.Be interested to hear what the guys on here (including obviously Freeola staff) think of this proposed scheme.

Regarding your point about the "3 warnings" thing, this already happens. We are notified of customers downloading (or rather sharing) copyrighted software or material, and pass the notifications on.
Really it filters down to "every ISP" to be frank, as those who are not big enough to be considered major, are often part of a wholesaler who will be.
And I can not be sure in regards to swapping ISP, but with lengthy contracts (with some providers) making that a small consideration, it should not be too hard to monitor.
