    Default Internet Service Providers Cut Down On Illegal Downloading

    Yes, a report on GMTV this morning explained that if you are caught downloading illegal music will result in ISPs sending letters to you/your parents.

    They are also considering cutting your internet connection, but surely, if you're paying for it... you should get it?

    Nothing was said what's classed as illegal though- probably it all.

    Didn't say anything about apps though.

    My Dad uses PirateBay and Bittorrent all the time lmao.
    Mum wants me to get her music off it and she dont care.

    Apparently on Yahoo they're sending letters to scare the kids using it, but don't they know that properly every kid has read that and is going to laugh when a letter comes through their door.
    Its just to scare you, it'll be impossible for them to stop us all lol. And i'd then sue them for taking my internet while im paying.

    Btw, Im on a VPN half the time !

    The fact is it's not you who is breaking the law, you are just downloading files that have been put there by the offenders, however, most government officials fail to recognise this and thus, you are the offender in their eyes.

    You can use an encrypted VPN if you are that bothered, or you could get Napster. For a tenner a month you get unlimited downloads and for £15 you get unlimited and you can put them on your MP3.
    goodbye.

    I guess MediaDefender are too lazy to go and sue the people HOSTING the files... -.- Tbh, I don't care. If they send a letter through my door, I'll just send one back saying I'll leave the company which means a 100 quid subscription down the drain.

    Heh.
