Sure is scary - we reported on it a few weeks back (ep 10 of r4nger5 radio) - the government has an intellectual property minister, who demanded a timetable for ISP's to act.

At time of reporting, they had until November to come up with a credible solution.

Mind if we use the link on show 15 (recording tomorrow night)?

Go for it, spread the word mate.

This really has got me pissed. Lets just leave the moral / copyright issues out of this for a minute and talk about are Government thinking they have the right to stop people using the net, in affect, limiting what we can learn and where we get our news.

I am pretty sure in prisons all over the world, inmates have internet access, even the murderers, but poor little Tim down the street who wanted to watch harry potter a few days early can fek of, he is banned !!!! WTF

Of course we could get internet access from other places other then our homes, but why should we !!!

Oh just got a great idea, murder someone, go to prison, get 3 meals a day, look after yourself at the gym, get free education and qualifications, and get freaking internet access !!

i'd better get on with the afternow stuff, before it becomes fact!

i'm not surprised, though - our government has been american business' bitch for hundreds of years, ever since the aboloition of slavery in the house of common s in the 1700s.

If you don't think its not happening outside the US, there has been talk about AT&T blocking P2P and other bittorrent traffic with this same mantra...
What crock.

I'll go back to developing software and hardware, don't have real time for such tom foolery and nonsense.
