ISPs and human rights cause U-turn on piracy cutoff plans

 

After an official report declined plans to cutoff the internet to anyone caught illegally downloading films, music or video games, Lord Mandelson has made a surprising U-turn and brought life back to the idea.

The shock decision has caused outrage from a number of sources, ranging from privacy campaigners all the way up to Internet Service Providers and fellow Labour MPs.

One of the major concerns with the suggested cutoffs is innocent victims getting caught out by accident, either by their internet connections being used by others or services being erroneously conceived as illegal (like legal Peer 2 Peer services).

Virgin Media believe that one of the best methods to disrupt piracy is to offer “new legitimate services that provide a compelling alternative to illegal filesharing”.
