Torrentor’s Go HTTPS

Well that’s what you will have to do soon, I saw on the news last night a report about the British Government  been close to publishing plans for a new law that would force internet service providers ban File sharers.  quick question isn’t the BBC iplayer a file sharing device and Skype ?

My guess is the Government  will mess this up big style, the biggest issue for the ISP wil be how to identify what’s an Illegal download and what’s not, personally I don’t want my backups that are moved off site been sniffed by the ISP’s especially if those ISP’s sell data ..

    Its a bit of a joke, there is no way they can police this. people will just find away around it.

    I’ve always wondered this, if you download a music track or DVD from a file sharing server but you also own a legitimate copy, is that classed as illegal.

    I have done this when a CD of mine got scratched up and I had not ripped it.

    I would expect them to move to Freenet sometime soon. http://freenetproject.org/

    mark - yep that’s still illegal. You only own the disc, not the content within it…

    Like discuit says… People will find a way round it, remember Napster?

    Exactly, people always will have developed other ways of sharing their illegal files even before governments can react on it! :-D
