to 31

all phone calls wether mobile or landline are monitored.

but only for keywords like bomb and a lot more too.

so you need to watch what you say all the time. GCHQ do it and do it all the time.

even satalite phones are monitored.

so you cant have a silent fart in peace.

The real funny thing is, i bet that a good few of virgin employees’ use p2p and probably share the most illegal shit because they can get cheap high-speed internet access from a favor with their mate at work lol.

THIS SHIT WILL NEVER WORK!!! THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER WAY !! ALWAYS!!!

its true the goverment needs to start worrying about real crime and not people downloading. Use newsgroups, like giganews with ssl. no torrents, no p2p. Just downloads at max speed. so much faster than torrents and p2p. p2p is pathetic anyways, why get busted for downloading a few crap quality songs at a slow speed, when you can get a better quality, whole album in the same time and not get busted.

I use torrents, actually not for music, If I receive a letter, I will leave Virgin Immediately, Period.

There are millions of valid torrents.

The music industry should police there own policies.

If this is not a European policy we in the UK are discriminated against.

Im prepared to take virgin to the small claims court <Â£500 if we all do it I wonder what will happen?

God so many people talk such rubbish.

Do you people not know that the goverment has said they will legislate if the industry do not do something themselfs. Nobody wants that!!!!

This is VM’s attempt at keeping the BPI happy while avoiding the goverment bringing new laws in.

Yes Ed that is a very good point.
I walked away from Virgin as soon as they started Traffic Shaping, If I was with Virgin now I would run away. When you see a Virgin van in the street, well need I say it. And if anyone asks you, I didn’t tell you to dump on it, Richard told you to do it while you were asleep.
Do NOT do nothing.

It’s interesting that they threaten to disconnect you if you download copyrighted music, but not if you download royalty-free child pornography.
