[...] “We think that it would be better for everyone if the industry and the rights-holders found a way to tackle this problem. It’s not going to go away. The current situation is not ideal but we could create something that moved the issue forward if we worked together,” Beynon added. Or in other words, the water’s great, come on in. Eircom insist that they want to respect their customers’ right to privacy but from fighting IRMA in 2008/9, they now believe that other ISPs should do as they have done, and do a deal with the recording group. Beynon says that Eircom believes it has an obligation to uphold the law when illegal activity is brought to its attention but it’s taking the word of a private P2P tracking company as final and there is no judicial oversight, something that causes controversy in every jurisdiction it’s suggested.

@PiRat

Whoever claims to putting your ‘phone line in’ in the UK is always BT as they own and manage the UKs telephone system. You may pay another provider the line rental but it still goes to BT who have to manage and repair the lines.

The only alternative to BT is cable, virgin will actually do you a phone line not connected to BTs network.

If that is going on, I will say it again: There should be a criminal investigation done on ‘abuse of market power’ premises.

Someone should investigate that, Patsaid2. I can understand having to pay them for installing the landline, but NOT having to get a six month contract with them. Is it that the latter is less than the former? If so, there needs to be some serious investigation done.
