I think ISPs are getting pissed off now about these companies trying to fleece money out of their customers for supposed illegal filesharing.

Remember hearing about this one the radio a few weeks ago.
Someone said 'file sharing isn't illegal really.
If you buy a t shirt then lend it to a mate, you're not breaking the law and this is the same thing'.
The dude kinda had a point tbh.

To an extent that's correct but only in the sense that the original holder doesn't have it anymore, so in theory you could pass on the license of the music and it be legal.
I think bt thought about how many customers they sound lose by handing over all those names

Ah, that's why our site internet went down... Its amazing how much you panic when the internet goes down and you can't access the server in the office.... its like the world was going to end!
[edit] Eck, I didn't realise you were from Lundin Links.... I'm working in Leven at the minute on a big project!
