Net pirates to be 'disconnected'

[Firehorse]

If its an automated system then whats to stop it from cutting off people who are legally using torrents for freeware and that kind of thing?

And if people are just downloading things as normal files or zipped then unless individual files have been tagged how would the system be able to tell the difference?

It will probably look for certain things, who is the host of the file? For e.g. TPB or RS? Does the filename include any tags associated with piracy? The file size in comparison to the file type? 600mb AVI file? etc etc going on to possibly looks for sections of data.

Ways around that stuff will be easily found
Starting with the heavier use of proxys i'd guess.

Pfft, the government will label every single packet that passes through our ISPs as Piracy.....

Honestly, they are not going to fork out the money for that and the ISPs will pretend they can't do it. Also they can't check the filename e.t.c. because it's Encrypted and is P2P. Sure they can stop anyone Downloading stuff illegally through DDL however must piracy is done over torrents and the only way to get to them is to connect to the torrents itself and to write down the IPs

And I think there's something in the pipelines about having access to the internet as a Human Right
