Wonder what will happen when someone say's "prove it" Are they going to side with New Zealand and say to you " no you prove your innocence ".
This has trouble with a capitol T printed all over it. The courts will have their hands full and the tax payer will foot the bill.
On a side note, my missus read somewhere about a figure of 20 pounds (the daily mail I think) levy to the music puppets on top of your internet abonnement. I don't know if this was per year or what. But it's time to join the darknets.
You know what really gets me though. These media monkeys are shouting about how much money torrent admins make from ad revenue. Why dont they just start their own tracker and give the content away for free. Ah mean after they seed the file initially then the public will take over and distribute the file for free. Saving huge bandwidth bills.
Everyone's a winner.
But alas these media monkeys are control freaks and also are not up-to-date with the modern world.
