Fu**ng hell can some people here not read, you people going on about the Brits their government & the NHS, its all that some countries / people could only dream of, it may not be the best but its certainly not the worst country by a long shot and isn’t all this a little off topic??????

Look for every one concerned this is just like a suggestion to the government OK its called a Green Paper meaning it is NOT official and most likely never will be law OK now also if it was to be passed and proven to work watch out because this will most certainly be adopted in other countries too with out a doubt. Any way your already being watched on the net…….

there are more pressing issues in this country that need dealing with first, not least of which is letting us decide who is prime minister, i dont actually remember anyone voting for this current tw4t at the last elections…… there’s democracy at work for you, the limp wristed idiot that was elected ran away crying before the end of his term, we should have been given an election at that point !

they need to focus everywhere on those that rip movies and sell thousands of copies, because until they do then they will continue to lose money, they are not losing monsy because of single people downloading for their own use, i gave up going to the cinema years ago because of all the crap they push out and hype up saying it’s great, and when you’ve paid up your cash, sat there and been bored stupid or whatever so many times, you simply say enough is anough…. i now take it or leave it as i choose

I think the funny thing is this law here would pit profiting corporations against each other. I mean we would be getting to see the bestest (yes i know gramar) Boxing match ever…ISPs VS The Movie/Music Industry…yeah this just cracks me up. It seems like we all get our turns on the spanking chair, but for my friends in UK god i hope they get to avoid this one…its just stupid

Let me ask everyone in the uk something has the news of this green paper stopped any one from dowloading anything yet???

If so why????? I`m not stopping, and if this does come to pass it will take some time for it to do so….

And as with every new technology i`m sure the entire world will help us find a way around it

This is all worthless chatter. It isn’t a law and never will be. Martin’s just winding everyone up with a didgy headline.

@255 Henry. Surely they left the UK because of religious persecution (and for the merchants, to make money), not because their broadband got turned off. Nothing much has changed, you’re still overly religious and only care about making money (the American dream).

Encryption…
Use it..

The ppl they should be targetting is the music companies for ripping us all off.
Same with Movies..
Pirating is a life style.
PPL love it..
Like me..

Thank god im not in UK.

To all the ppl in there.
Don’t worry, its a scare tactic to try to make music and movie outragous sales increase.
THis is a community.
We arn’t goin anywhere..

And with this maVen on the run..
Good on him.. Why fight a law that doesn’t make sense.

LONG LIVE SCENE!

To all those who doubt it will come:

This law will come! a similiar law already has been passed in france and soon all european nations will follow.

the only thing we can do about is go to the supreme court of our nations and if that doesnt help we have to head for the european supreme court. laws like this have been reversed by the supreme courts before.

SO FIGHT IT BEFORE IT STARTS. if the UK fails to fight, our countries will be next!

As asked to post by some on this thread, the following is the text from the message i received from the rapidshare admin in regards to them banning my account. Or at least i think it is my account because they said it belongs to “niteuk” yet they refer to me as monugs. These idiots cant even type in complete coherent sentences! Is anyone else having this problem?

@Alfred + Mrs.X

You are a couple of racists aren’t you.
When you say ‘fasist’, do you mean fascist? In what way is England a fascist country?
And are you saying that if you got caught downloading stuff illegally, and faced either jail or a very large fine, that you would not try to get out of it? You could just destroy your hard drive, it would only cost £20 to replace.
