Hi,
Pretty much a UK based story but relevant for all file sharers.
At the minute in the UK the govt is trying to stop file sharing, they just cant figure out how. They don't want to disconnect them but they do want to stop them. It seems likely when the Digital Britain bill is passed file sharers will get a series of warnings before being cut off.
SEPERATE to this is a money making scam by a Law firm who gain high court orders to monitor various seeds and get address from ISP's relating to an IP address...if someone has been uploading a lot in these feeds they are sent a letter. You must either pay £500 or go to court. most people pay out of fear but as yet none have reached court.
Anyone got an opinion on file sharing and the means govt's are using to try and stop it?
My opinon - govts need to be careful...I don't want the internet to be monitored, I don't want the internet to be censored etc etc
