So what are your thoughts on this?

I suppose a letter from your ISP telling you off is better than a letter saying you're being taken to court and have to pay £3000 for sharing one song to 15 people.

I don't download movies or songs anymore, I just watch them on sites like YouTube now that the screens are much bigger. Unfortunately we can't watch free movies on IMDB or Hulu. And the only movies the iPlayer have shown are Chicken Run and What Women Want.

P.S I really just created this thread to ask if Sin City is worth watching tonight on BBC3?

Unfortunately downloaders..

Ministers intend to pass regulations on internet piracy requiring service providers to tell customers they suspect of illegally downloading films and music that they are breaking the law, says the draft report by Lord Carter.

Excellent, cheers Nin

If ISPs think they can police the internet. Good luck because its impossible.

Well seeing as your ISP can see where traffic going down your line is coming from they are probably in the best position to police it. Obviously ISPs cannot take content off the web (unless they are hosting it themselves), but they can block or monitor your connectivity with anything they deem contraband.

Or they need to share their records with the interwebz police army forces
