A side question - has anyone seen any work on just how long a person must be disconnected for, should they be found "guilty"? Is it permanent or would switching them off and straight back on be enough?
This was one of my first responses[1] to reading the legislation in question. "Dear baggytrousers47, your internet connection was used to infringe copyright. And this isn't the first time. We are therefore terminating your account, effective immediately. It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get NOTHING! You LOSE! Good DAY sir! ... BTW reply to this e-mail to take advantage of our new account signup offer! Free to previous customers! Welcome to the internet, baggytrousers48!" [1] The aforementioned responses are personal, my own opinion, do not reflect those of my current or previous employers or anyone else ever, you no sue, you no take candle, you can't handle the truth, baby you were born to run, only you-u-u can make this world seem ri-i-ight.
