[QUOTE=shadow2398;16922734]Somehow I don't think AT&T and Comcast are a part of that list....[/QUOTE] They don't operate in the UK so why would they? :downs:

[QUOTE=toxicpiano;16922823]They don't operate in the UK so why would they? :downs:[/QUOTE] Because I for one, welcome our new AT&T overlords. but in all honesty, I'm rather surprised that the isp's don't want to play the internet police, then again... it would mean they would have to cut off paying customers.
So if you get cut off from all ISPs, you're fucked?
[quote=BBC News]The UK government has set a target of reducing the problem by at least 70% in the next few years.[/quote] Another failed target I see, if anything the so called 'problem' will be 70% greater in the next few years. The government seem to have a severe delusion that piracy can be stopped.
[QUOTE=johanz;16923053]So if you get cut off from all ISPs, you're fucked?[/QUOTE] Just "borrow" a neighbours.
Fucking French. Surrender to piracy already
Wow. The UK is turning into a prison.
[QUOTE=Monkey pie;16923276]Wow. The UK is turning into a prison.[/QUOTE] Remind us all how cracking down on piracy makes anything a prison
[QUOTE=Monkey pie;16923276]Wow. The UK is turning into a prison.[/QUOTE] 100% it's more than that though, it's propaganda twisting peoples understanding on things. Just because its government does not make it right, it's a corrupt system putting money in the wrong places. Our money.

I have never done any of this filesharing stuff. Partly because I don't understand, partly because it's illiegal and partly because I don't want viruses. This won't affect me but either way I'm pissed off. Spend the money on keeping peoples jobs, not keeping the odd film recorded on a mobile phone from the back on the cinema from being downloaded.
[QUOTE=CivilProtection;16918906]Happened in France, now Britain, will eventually happen everywhere else so don't get too happy laughing at Britain.[/QUOTE] Not America. :hist101: Also, rated myself clock
[QUOTE=BarryJewman;16921393]Imagine seven million angry kids(Most of whom know how to make napalm and rudimentary weapons) Against like 500 overweight 40 year old politicians.[/QUOTE] More bomb threats. You guys sure are good for a laugh.

Sharing is caring. Stop caring, stop sharing.
[QUOTE=Monkey pie;16923276]Wow. The UK is turning into a prison.[/QUOTE] Given the state of prisons in the country that would be an improvement.
Lol, if I get banned from the internet I'll just buy a WLAN connection thing and use my neighbor's internet.
[QUOTE=ray243;16920357]WTF UK, there goes my british porn.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFi2GWrliDA[/media]
[QUOTE=johanz;16918953]And watch as internet 2 is born...[/QUOTE] Holy fuck, another example of how comedy can be completely true. (See "Mitch Hedberg")
We already get fined for millions of dollars over here, if they instituted this then it simply be adding insult to injury.
[QUOTE=Monkey pie;16923276]Wow. The UK is turning into a prison.[/QUOTE] :/ How does cracking down on [I]illegal[/I] downloads make the UK like a prison?
[QUOTE=Bad)-(and;16925609]:/ How does cracking down on [I]illegal[/I] downloads make the UK like a prison?[/QUOTE] Because prisons are used to store illegal people! That's it I've worked it out!

Well I went to see a GP yesterday and he was listening to classical music on his mac. I doubt that he paid for over 2000 songs.
[QUOTE=Lol wut?;16925909]Well I went to see a GP yesterday and he was listening to classical music on his mac. I doubt that he paid for over 2000 songs.[/QUOTE] Well considering how much GPs get paid he probably did
[QUOTE=Lol wut?;16925909]Well I went to see a GP yesterday and he was listening to classical music on his mac. I doubt that he paid for over 2000 songs.[/QUOTE] Maybe he was using Spotify.
Hardcore copyright pirates are people who download 9 albums of Heavy Metal songs with the Terminator movies and the Monkey Island game at the the same time.
You guys need to take a note from Canada. At least our government is [i]pretending[/i] to give a fuck about what the public thinks.
[QUOTE=markg06;16923173]Just "borrow" a neighbours.[/QUOTE] Sure, and then they get cut off without even knowing what's happened.
