Oh and as for films and media over P2P: It's a recession. People aren't all born thieves, they are just short on cash, short on jobs, short on happiness and stuck at home feeling depressed. What do you expect?

If the government wants more spending in this sector they need to sort out the mess they have created so we all have surplus cash and better incomes, not attack the people they are supposed to protect!

Governments supposed to protect people NOT companies.

Most 'illegal' P2P downloads are because big company names are only interested in the corporate sector and discriminate against home users and students and similar. Given the options of say £400 for certain software or £100 for a badly limited version of course the majority of people turn elsewhere.

This is the real issue. The big devs have had a stranglehold on the market for years and dont want to let go. But one way or another they will have to.

The majority of my software is now from independent small developers with reasonable prices. But I'm very net savvy and most people have yet to realise there are alternatives or else need specific software because their company or school use it. The whole thing is just a seriosuly out of touch money making, criminalising excrcise and plain daft.

If it goes ahead it will stop nothing, you can't stop a starving man trying to steal food and like it or not, the internet, computers and the software that drives them are becoming as essential as a roof over your heads. Or have you tried to get a job without net access, a good wordprocessor and printer lately??

Unfortunately Peerblock only works after the fact (ip addresses blocked that are known anti p2p addresses are sometimes only added after the fact). I applaud Bethere's stance on this matter as I for one have never agreed with purchasing something only to be told that I can't share it with a friend. I understand the monetary concerns that these anti p2p'ers have but they must find an alternate solution other than suppressing peoples ability to do with their own goods what they want after purchase. This bill is an infringement of peoples freedom and if it goes ahead I can see the stormtroopers coming kicking in the shop door just as soon as I pay over the counter in the future as my friend looked at the cover of my CD (tongue in cheek). I salute you and your commitment to your customers!

This bill is a just more bad legislation from a government that is so out of touch, it might as well be governing the moon.

It'll never work.

One word for y'all: 'Peerblock'

It's frightening that an unelected politician, clearly technically ignorant, can be so easily influenced by Big Media.
The whole world is now looking at the UK in disbelief.

Be and other ISP should for a lobby group, get in touch with TalkTalk etc, then get customers to write to their MP's and for customers to make sure they sign the "dontdiconnectus" petition on the 10 Downing street website.

@intranation thanks for commenting. We didn't describe the bill in detail because there's lots of news sites doing that (search for 'digital economy bill'). Some of our members might not have seen it all, though, so we'll look to add a summary of what it means to them.
