Re: Headlines - Music industry and UK ISPs unite in battle against piracy

What about people whose computers have been "zombied" and are actually just being used by some hacker who is the real one doing the illegal downloading.

There has already been a number of people complaining that they have received these letters when they have never downloaded or shared music before.

What about people piggybacking your wireless connection to download music?

Recently a court in Germany rejected a case because the "downloader" said that his open wireless connection was misused and he couldn't be held responsible for the actions of somebody else (rightly so in my opinion).

I believe this whole thing needs addressing properly before the BPI walks all over us and monitors everything we do.

The pirate bay is currently looking at encrypting the data sent to and from bittorrent servers which sounds promising.
