Three strikes law would involve sending warning emails to the IP addresses those detected illegally downloading. After three such instances, the ISP would be required to cut service

France has this.......

What made me laugh on the news today I watched/heard three different sums of money. Illegal downloads cost the music industry, £1 million a year and then there was this £1/2 billion a year and finally £2 billion a year.

I say this to the music industry, your music sucks and the cost of Cd's are a rip off up yours you robbing barons.

For the record I never done a pirate download.

No biggie. Just start using encryption and they can't see what you are downloading. Its just another front on the war that can be defeated.

Seems somewhat draconian to me...

Dammit! Now they've started enforcing laws that I don't like! Blargh!

Step #2 : ban encryption.
Oh I forgot the UK has a law that is borderline on banning encryption altogetter.

I believe this idea is only at the "Green Paper" stage at the moment.

There may be hope.............................................. .................

People are always going to find ways of circumventing such laws. If this does come into place, it's not going to boost CD sales atall, if anything it'll make them drop.

I do confess that I used to download music back when I first got internet (even though it took forever on dial-up :P), but if anything that actually sparked my interest into many of the groups I listen to and buy CDs of today.

If it wasnt for someone say, sending me a Kraftwerk song via MSN, then I would never have gotten into them, and spent money on their collectors edition 'laptop' album. (Which is fricken awesome

)

Its the same old story. Trying to remove a splinter with a chainsaw.

You mean its illegal to download music? Oooh Crap!

Stealth Hunter · 02-12-08, 09:14 PM

Indeed. If enough people want it, they'll get it, no matter the cost.

I do download music (classical, though) and I'm damn proud to do so!
