Panorama - Are the Net Police Coming for You?
Anyone watch this t'other night? I had to laugh in places ... the guy sticking up for the ISP's is a legend Haha
Nobody has ever had their internet cut off and they never will ... its one big bluff.
To quote Billy Bragg ... "It's like taking someones record player and complaining why nobody buys records"

Did you watch it then gris?
Was the most limp arsed attempt at stopping people I've ever seen ... if anything they encouraged it!
And Jo Wiley? Serious, I will eat hay with a donkey if she can turn round and honestly say she's never snatched an album ... she's meant to be the one that breaks new bands through to Radio One's playlist ...but she's never had a pirated CD? Bullox

If Jo Wiley has a mp3 player then she has committed piracy. Stick that in her I'm so white I'm virginal stance.Same goes for any TV recording device. By law we can't record TV shows, but its one of those grey areas that are seemingly allowed. Same goes for recording off the radio, live events and copying your music. We all commit piracy it's just the media industry seems to turn a blind eye to those areas, yet jumps on the 'POOR', for downloading one of those same grey fluffy areas.
Oh the irony meter is so broke as is the bullshit meter the media hunters use.
