The DEB is ridiculously flawed. The negative repercussions on our society and economy as a whole hugely outweigh any potential gains from combating piracy in this way. It’s an insult to democracy by being so blatantly written and pushed through by lobbyists from the BPI and other “music industry” figures. It ignored the British judiciary system by assuming guilt in the absence of proof (IP addresses cannot prove guilt in a court of law). It jeopardises our young digital economy, by eroding the chances of gaining truly wireless cities, and removes any incentive to provide free wi-fi areas.

What’s more, it is unlikely to have any effect on file-sharing, as is evident when you look at Sweden as a case study, where file-sharing has risen since their anti-piracy laws, just now it is encrypted. Instead the record companies who wrote this Act should be focusing on live music promotion as their primary revenue stream rather than protecting an old, out-dated business model.

Tech will always beat politics because politicians do not advance with half the rate that tech does. Since the days of mix tapes piracy has been available to the general public. It will not stop now.

Remember for every high wall there is an even higher ladder.
Whatever anybody does or says it can be broken.
I’m with Vermin, any letter from them will get a phone call from me telling them to stuff their business up their rutpiece.
In any case you dont need the internet for file sharing, these other methods will force bulk file sharing and be quicker.
