torrentfreak.com — The British government appears to be running out of patience with ISPs as they struggle to come to an agreement with the music industry on P2P music piracy. One ‘top-level’ ISP executive says “The British government just put a gun to our head.” Major UK ISPs are now in “serious” talks with the music industry.

"If the latest reports are to be believed, around 6 million Brits use their internet connection for file-sharing."Obviously the 6 million Brits are wrong and the handful of record executives are right. Not to mention that number seems very low to me.

The Government needs to stay out of the internet. How can they just start controlling the internet as if its something they created and have power over? Politicians are so easily manipulated by the media groups. They have no right in trying to influence the internet.
