You mean to say, that Data Protection and Privacy Laws won’t be superceded by this? That is promising!

And if the worst comes to the worst we switch ISP’s, or go to the EU…I do think the European Court of Rights would look dimly on these proposals!

If you use sites that tell you about new scene releases it will tell you what has just came out and then you will be able to just search for that and it will most definately be there.

Usenet > p2p

For me, what kept me on were the LEGITIMATE newsgroups access they had to offer. With that gone now, my motivation to stay is non-existent. Luckily, I found another usenet provider, newsdemon.com that lets me access the newsgroups. Now I just have to find a new reputable ISP.

As someone who only uses legal downloading sites, I welcome this.”

ok so i found this from another site comment but I just wanted to point out that when you download you do not steal as nothing is taken…. if i was to steal you car and leave it burnt out in a feild i could understand you beeing pissed, but if i walked passed your car and said thats nice ill make a copy and drive my copy then your bitching is only because you don’t feel as exclusive as you think you should…. get over yourself. copying is only enriching the masses not empoverishing the ellite – as (without copying) i would now just not listen to music or use software. so thanks to copying my life has been enriched and has not effected the profits of others – i simply would not have payed for anything i just would have lived without – as i did B4 computers and copying.

I doubt virgin are gonna offer anythig “not leagle” on a binarys service – the BPI is not that dumb – if there is anything doggie on there they will be able to follow its path very very easly as its their own closed loop system….. Also all those who say move ISPs well I doubt virgin are this dumb either – they know full well that this kind of stratigie or somthing like will be employed very soon (within the year) by all major ISPs in the UK – short of the Gov. making a law like in france.

I find it funny when the BBC keep harking on about ooo people in devon can only get 2Mbit and they should have 8 – who gives a shit it’s well fast – calls for 100Mbit are a joke – thats like 12MB a sec – current HD is only good for about 30MB on a typlical setup…. can we not wait 0.6 of a sec for our BBC news page to load???? Without downloads, free software, free music etc. who wants a pc or the net – only for shopping and checking on my bank statement. They will kill their own buisness.
N.B. Intel, HP, etc dont want this – it will only mean people will have less use for PCs and then they will not sell another for a long time!
