I’m confused too. ISPs here encourage music and movie downloading as a way to use their bandwidth, when you sign up.

I’m confused. Wasn’t there just an announcement a week or two ago that the UK government was going to impose a mandatory licensing scheme on the ISP’s and media cartel?

Does the carphone warehouse really believe that the BPI will stop at sending out warning letters? This is a small step toward total control for the BPI and the ISPs with a vested interest in prioritizing their own content by eliminating all vestiges of competition (yes, I’m talking about you virgin media).

If I get a letter from them, they can kiss my account goodbye. I will not stand to have unsubstantiated accusations directed at me. They are foolish to comply with the BPI and risk infuriating their customers.
