But what about those countries where copyright infringement actually is covered by criminal law? (Germany for example has criminal laws within the so called UrhG)…

Andrew (65), fortunately Time Warner Cable isn’t an ISP in the EU. Isn’t Time Warner Cable (previously known as AOL America) completely blocked by BlueTack/PeerGuardian anyway? Actually at some time I had the sneaking suspicion that MPAA/RIAA members are going to buy all major ISP in the USA so that they can fully control what happens on their part of the internet and easily sue every customer because they can link all their IP addresses directly to customers. After all, most ISPs introduced cheap broadband access because they wanted to make with pay-per-view videos and music. So they are/were kinda already in bed with MPAA/RIAA.

Especially if the ISP is owned by the same company as a major. Like Time Warner, who owns Time Warner Cable and the Warner movie/music giant.

” the European Court of Justice declared that EU law does not allow Internet Service Providers TO BE FORCED TO reveal the personal details of people accused of file sharing. ”

The “to be forced to” is important guys! An ISP could just give the personal details of people accused of file sharing if they can make an agreement with the Majors & Co…

Pirates kicked off the net

The government is set to introduce a powerful new independent body with the tough new powers to combat internet piracy.

The new body will be able to have users who consistently use the internet to illegally download films and music cut off by their Internet Service Providers (ISP).

The move would see internet companies, film and record makers and the government teaming up to see that customers are monitored.

It is based on a similar body that was set up in France in November 2007.

Information about persistent pirates would be passed along to the new body who would warn the customer that they may be disconnected from their ISP if the piracy continues.

Gadgets to save the world.
The fight for a better future begun.
Movie, game and music producers have been calling for such action for several years.

They cite the ‘IFPI digital music report’ which states that for every legal music download there are 20 illegal downloads of the same material.

Kicking repeat offenders off the net is seen as more of a deterrent to internet pirates than those currently offered by the legal system.

Chief Executive of the IFPI, John Kennedy went on record stating: “It was about time internet service providers took responsibility for file shares”.
