1. Comment - Virgin Media to begin penalizing users for illegal downloads

   (Apr 4, 2008 - 7:41 AM)

   Well well well LOL.
   
   Virgin i wonder how Virgin they really are?
   
   Has anybody ever read the data protection act of 1998 @ virgin? I bet ya a billion quid they haven't. Well they should as if they give any data or any details to BPI or any other industry or anyone else for that matter without written consent of the person or persons involved then that person/persons may sue virgin for what ever they are worth sounds good to me. Alot of what the government & the BPI is doing by getting ISP's to monitor downloading files is going to conflict with the data protection act which was put there to keep people safe & the government safe. If the government changes the data protection act then does that mean equal opportunitys will arise if the government spys on us who spys on the government? The government has to be careful where it treads & what they legislate. The ISP's have to becareful if they impose a 3 strike ban & 16 million users are banned from each network they could be looking at possible bankruptcy. If BT is one of them that goes bankrupt then its bye bye telecommunications all mobile internet services will all go kerput (Non Existent)cos how many networks say you need a BT line if you want to go with us. How many networks or landline services pay BT behind closed doors for use of BT's sattelite/line rental? Who will support ISP's when they are in liquidisation? Will it be the government or BPI/MPAA or RIAA? & how many of the ISP's would they be able to support? Read data protection act Rights of data subjects and others. http://www.opsi.gov.uk/A..._19980029_en_3#pt2-l1g7
