UK ISP TalkTalk has said that recommendations from the UK Government on ways to solve the Internet piracy problem - which include disconnecting customers who are deemed "repeat offenders" - likely breach fundamental rights. Additionally, provider Virgin Media commented that it is persuasion and not coercion that is the key to cracking down on the estimated 6 million file sharers in the UK.

dark nets & encrypted connection = MPAA - RIAA fail, end of.
this is just scare tactics nothing more because of the report last week that stated ppl using p2p in the UK had more than doubled.
Its a sad day for UK politics when industry is allowed to dictate to them. all the good points in the digital Britain report have been thrown away choosing to side with big content.
When a corporation controls government it's called fascism!
lets not 4 get who is actually behind the MPAA - RIAA ect, these are the companies that need to be targeted and boycotted into changing their ways, purchase only 2nd hand media and do not purchase anything branded sony, why allow these fecktards to dictate hardware DRM anymore.
Name and shame the companies as all the **AA trade group name is for is to protect the capitalist corporate globalist from bad press.

Do these hypocrytic corporations with short memories remember how they advertised their wares back in the 1960's.
Didn't have anything to do with pirates did it!
I think it is high time for p2p sharers to petition the devs of p2p programs to come up with onion-routing that actually works and to a satisfactory speed. Which of course wont happen for a few years since programs like Anomos are in their infancy stage. And they will only get slower the bigger the files are shared.
This is another about face. Virgin has been one of the to anti files share corps in the world. Like mine, Comcast, did the same a year back. Once they have their band width contained they started to realize how much money they lost. Virgin has made that same conclusion. They know who is sharing and they know they can't afford to lose a quarter of them. They are now blowing smoke to slow down or stop the final crack down for file sharing which could put them out of business.
