New UK Law: Parents to be Punished for Children’s Net Piracy

technology.timesonline.co.uk — Parents whose children download music and films illegally will be blacklisted and have their internet access curbed under government reforms to fight online piracy. Households that ignore warnings will be subjected to online surveillance and their internet speeds will be reduced, making it very difficult for them to download large files.

  • barwe, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1After reading that I gain the impression that something like PG2 would be able to block the IP addresses of the people monitoring the users connected to the tracker, obviously it is not foolproof but surely that would cut the risk right down if they are going to use the method implied in the article, please correct me if I'm wrong!

    Sorry if that doesnt make sense but I am freaking out my parents will go crazy on me if they find out that I fileshare.
