Illegal Downloads are Illegal

People in the UK who go online and illegally download music and films may have their internet access cut under plans the government is considering.

A draft consultation Green Paper suggests internet service providers would be required to take action over users who access pirated material.

Under a "three strikes" rule they would receive an e-mail warning, suspension, and then termination of their contract.


The British are going to cut the internet access of those who download illegally. This seems to be a better idea than suing and hanging prison sentences in front of people a la the United States. It looks to be a more viable alternative to the US method.
