BBC NEWS | Business | Illegal downloaders 'face UK ban'

Ah! The issues of law, privacy and piracy on the high seas of the cyber pond.

So, let me see if I have this right.

It is ok to use the internet to copy the works of a student as a basis determining the legality of a war, (September Dossier / Iraq Dossier) but it is not ok to download the latest copy of "Instantly Forgettable" by the Over-hyped.

Have I understood this correctly?

Amonst the Have Your Say comments regarding file sharing, this one just about sums up the situation that we humans currently find ourselves.

Late Edit

Just remembered I have this feed for further information on the subject.

Rape-convictions - epetition response from PM

Listen...what's that noise?...It is the sound of rapists across the nation..laughing like drains ...it is the sounds of victims being used, abused and then neglected.

I have commented several times upon this type of crime and it's impact and repercussions not only for the victims, but the effects it has upon family, friends and society.

Who do You Trust?

Why Do They Do It?

What Happens if They Get Caught?


These measures which HM government, (a term used in it's most loosest sense), are far too little and far too late.

There is no strong deterrents to dissuade any would be rapist from embarking on this role, and even when there is an unlikely conviction, punishments can be as little as a caution or community service.

Millions of tax payers money are spent on these low impact, insubstantial 'punishments' (again, forgive me for using such loose terminology), and these half arse, cheap, little sticky plaster remedies are not going to make one iota of difference.

All of this genders an attitude that rape and sexual crime can be 'managed', like it is a staff dispute.

Total Crap.
