UK ISPs To Hand Over Thousands of File Sharers' Data

Death Metal Maniac sends along a link from TorrentFreak on the latest development in game developer Topwear's battle against file sharers in the UK. "US game developer Topware Interactive, the people behind the now infamous Dream Pinball affair, are about to turn up the heat. Operating through London lawyers Davenport Lyons, they have managed to convince the High Court to send out an order demanding that ISPs in the UK start to hand over the details of several thousand alleged pirates ... BT, one of the UK's largest ISPs ..., confirmed it had been ordered to hand over details of alleged copyright infringing file-sharers ... Virgin Media was a little more slippery in its response but reading between the lines it seems obvious they are involved too."

Well it's difficult to fight back but there is a way.

EVERYONE STOP buying the games from this company. PIRATE ALL of their games.

They want to play hard lets play harder, lets stop their revenue completely and force them to file a chapter 11.

Maybe the botnets could do some good, they could host & advertise the pirate copies

NO SURRENDER!

no

democrats are not supporting it. but obama and his group had to vote for the bill, because if they resisted it, they wouldnt be enough with democrat numbers in senate to bring a bill that would trash telecoms, and nothing would change. in previous situation, warrantless wiretapping was totally without oversight. in the new situation, at least high courts are involved.
