Re: UK file-sharers will be 'cut off'

It was bad enough having a prime minister that was not elected as PM but at least he was elected as a MP

now the new UK PM the Sith Lord Mandelson runs the country without even having received a single vote ....


Just waiting for him to announce the is constructing of his death star

Re: UK file-sharers will be 'cut off'

I would like to check on the likes of 'Lord Rhumba of Rio' and see whether he owns all the music on whatever devices he uses or indeed has all the cds in his posession.

While there is content available to download then people wil download it. Gven the current mess that Lord Rhumba and his chohorts have got us in people can hardly be chastised in todays climate to ignore 'free' dodgy downloads or the DVD of this weeks top 40 at the local car boot and take the higher moral ground to HMV and pay through the teeth.

Re: UK file-sharers will be 'cut off'

Isn't this going to puch illegal downloading further underground and actually help fund organised crime (buying from dodgy market trade men etc......)

why don't the music and film industry and take advantage of p2p technology and use it as a cheap distribution tool. why not pay a monthly subscription for p2p trackers where you can download but have share ratio's monitored.

oneswarm will be very popular in this country soon!

wonder how hes going to get round the EU Human right to access the internet, which requires a judge to stop access

Answer: he won't.

There may be a big hoo-ha now, but in six months time, nothing will have happened, and only the serial uploaders will face any consequences, which would have happened anyway...
