30,000 UK ISP Users Face Threat Letters For Suspected Illegal File Sharing
Mark.JUK writes with this excerpt from ISP Review: "Solicitors at ACS:Law have been granted approval by the Royal Courts of Justice in London to demand the private personal details of some 30,000 customers suspected of involvement with illegal file sharing from UK broadband ISPs. The customers concerned are 'suspected' of illegally file sharing (P2P) approximately 291 movie titles, they now face threatening demands for money (settlement) or risk the prospect of court action. It's noted that 25,000 of the IP addresses that have been collected belong to BT users."
Sadly the left-wing gov we have considers us all subjects and we should all do as we are told, never question the status-quo and never question Father Brown leader of the glorious party of truth and light!
However those of us who do not sit dribbling in front of our TV's watching shite like Big Brother, Come Dancing or X-Factor do have IQs at least in double digits, do argue against this pathetic excuse for a government! A government where most of the MPs are on the boards of media companies and simply do as the shareholders of said companies tell them to.
Damburger (GP) is of the opinion that "right-wing is always bad" and that "left-wing is normally good". This is common groupthink, in fact it is an almost universal belief in Britain.
Damburger realises that New Labour are a nasty bunch of crooks, but isn't able to make the connection between that crookedness and the Left-wing ideology that creates it, so in his mind, New Labour become right-wing. He would benefit by reading Nick Cohen or Jonah Goldberg, since their books clearly illustrate that the "nasty Left" didn't disappear with the fall of the Soviet Union.
