People who download music and films illegally face being cut off from the web under plans being considered by ministers. Internet service providers (ISPs) could be legally obliged to take action against those who access pirate material. Users suspected of breaking the rules would be subject to a "three strikes and you're out" policy, receiving an e-mailed warning first, followed by a suspension, and then finally termination of their internet contract. The Government is expected to confirm that it intends to legislate on the issue when it publishes a green paper on the future of the creative industries next week. Broadband firms who fail to enforce the rules could reportedly be prosecuted, and details of suspected customers made available to the courts. A draft of the green paper, obtained by The Times newspaper, states: "We will move to legislate to require internet service providers to take action on illegal filesharing." Some six million people are estimated to download files illegally every year in the UK, costing music and film companies billions in lost revenue. Major ISPs such as BT, Virgin and Tiscali have been in talks with the entertainment industry over introducing a voluntary scheme for policing pirate activity, but no agreement has been reached. nice thought huh DAVE

Same here in Germany since new years day. The reason why they are doing it here is because a lot of terrorists from the eastern world are building up connections to west europe and terror attacks might happen here very soon. That's the main reason for watching internet users.

Good thing i live in the US, but then again, its illegal everywhere. My dad keeps trying to "scare" me into the truth about downloading, but AC/DC is the only stuff I really download. And from the way I look at it, its only illegal if you share it. But then again, CD prices for Bootlegs and official stuff are outraegeous. I support the band, but Im not going to pay $60 for bonfire, when I can download it for free. http://www.bestbuy.com The first 10 or so are "Japan" Releases, which gives them the right to charge $35 fucking dollars. Untill something changes Im not gonna stop. Danger101

Well in Greece we are all freeloaders, even the government :) So we don't get arrested for downloading, we don't get arrested for sharing and we don't give a f%ck because we are bad motherf^ckers!!!! :) But i prefer to buy AC/DC stuff. Also send4theman has been ripped of with Bonfire, i can find it cheaper. Anyway i bought it back when it was released for 15.000 greek drachmes...So itsss 44 Euros. And the cd's (the originals before the remastered) 3-5000 dracmes so it's 8-12 Euros Hah! Cd prices haven't changed a lot in 12 years :) In other countries the state is watching you but here we are watching the state!

Well live music downloading really isnt stealing because it has no copyrights on it. Same with me, I buy AC/DC stuff so I can have it forever, and my kids can watch it.
