"The major music labels say that they stand to lose £200 million this year in the UK alone thanks to Internet file-sharing. But one of the country's biggest ISPs is now slinging around some huge numbers of its own, saying it will actually cost ISPs £365 million a year to adopt "three strikes" rules meant to stem piracy."

Good points.




It isn't fair that innocent users of the internet should be..... in effect.....punished.....especially on such a large scale...... for the actions of the criminal element.

Just a thought.....maybe a percentage of those big court awards we hear about in the US against these online thieves could go towards enforcement?

In the end, though....it'll probably be technology that brings a better solution.
