Are the Net Police Coming for You?
A proposed new law is threatening to disconnect the millions of internet users who unlawfully download free music, films and TV. Jo Whiley looks at how broadband use at home may never be the same, and could even be cut off.

Now I must admit this programme made me quite angry as I feel that this is another step towards an "Orwellian" State. Cutting off the internet supplier indeed.
Now some of you may disagree with me and thats fine, but I honestly do not give a rats ass about how the poor music industry suffers due to Free digital downloads.
I also have no sympathy for the poor artists whose music is downloaded free.
Why the heck would anyone buy music when it is so easily downloaded from a variety of sources.
The music industry makes billions off the backs of consumers and they are only whining due to the fact that people can now get a lot of this free.
I would never pay £10 for a music album when I can download it free and burn it to disc for £0.19 p.
You can buy a single song on itunes for 0.79p, sorry too expensive. They need to charge a fair price, say 20p to make this a worthwhile option.
Its a dog eat dog world and its survival of the fittest. No one would queue up to help me if I cant pay my bills so why should anyone feel guilty about file sharing? |
