I've had just about enough of this BS. I'm tired of virgin and I'm tired of their attitude:

Spoiler for swearing:

Will i be cut off or arrested?! Or both? LOL.

It is complete BS that i can't do as i please for a service *i pay for* how dare they look into what I'm up to, it's none of their business. And how dare they send out letters accusing people of being thieves, the real **** criminals are all apart of the music industry.

That's total *******... If my stepbro is busted he has 32 DVDs worth of music, but Belgian ISP aren't lame in that category.
I hope for you someone will sue them for their privacy...

Great, now the **** British ISPs are buying into it.

How can they accuse us of being in the wrong for getting music for free? Its the record companies that are ripping us off. Making us pay 80p for one music track. Its absolutely outrageous. I hope Opal Telecom don't buy into it, or else I'm changing ISP.

Totally agree, although I don't really have anything to do with who my ISP is, I would prefer it to be an ISP that lets you "acquire" music, and lets me connect to people on XBL

I have the feeling that this is just the start of things to come. The more commercial the web becomes the more control corporations will seek to have over it. It's always about control.
