The irony of all this is that up until recently, many ISPs were forwarding infringement notices to customers when they were received. Usually, the fact that their activities were being noticed was sufficient to stop them.

But now, processing a copyright infringement notice is a paid-for process, enshrined in law. And to encourage rights holders to use the law "properly", notifications are no longer being sent to end users unless the money is forthcoming.

It seems to me that far fewer infringement notices will be reaching end users now than before the law came into force ...

We started enforcing the new law a while ago by requesting payment from the copyright holder before we would forward the breach notice to the customer concerned.�� To date we have had absolutely no response from any email sent to the copyright holders or their representatives.��
