In move that isn’t entirely unexpected as it has been hinted over the last six months, the government has shown it’s intentions to stop pirates. Firstly by “encouraging” ISPs to self regulate themselves. If they don’t the ISPs could be held accountable, legally, and could have sanctions imposed. What these sanctions would be have not been decided, but you can guess it will hit their pockets hard. The reason nothing has been decided yet is plain and simple – there are European laws already in place that prevent the ISP being accountable for their customer’s actions. The fact is this isn’t going to be an easy problem to solve with government legislation. [SHOW ME]
