its illegal to monitor the packages you send and recieve via the internet. so how would they know you were downloading illegally?

isn't that data protection act if they do decide to spy on you?

Oh for god's sake.

YOU CAN'T ENFORCE THE INTERNET DAMNIT. THE INTERNET IS FREEDOM!


*emo cuts* My life is over :(

I thought it was illegal to track your activity but wasn't sure. I guess the government are just going to change the law, but lets face it even if they do change it there will still be a way to get it without getting caught
