    I'm not sure I understand the legality of this

    like do internet service providers not have a responsibility towards the privacy of their subscribers

    and are these letters legally binding in any way or is it just some kind of a vague threat that they hope people will fall for

    and messing around with filters so that everything except her left shoulder was a deep blue hue

    I'm not surprised people fall for this. Couple of bucks so the mrs won't find out about that porn habit.

    Pretty shady on the ISPs part though. Taking money from this sort of business.

    Yeah, this is what confuses me. If the post on the previous page is right, about the "economic loss" ratio, then surely all they could charge is the price of the dvds being downloaded. And even then, what if it was only like a few scenes from a dvd or something? Or if the file was corrupted?

    The good news is that these lawyers are probably going to get a huge 6 figure fine for leaking those details online.

    They should fined extra for trying to ruin free internet porn though.

    I'm pretty sure the leak is a massive breach of the Data Protection Act and whoever is responsible is going to get prosecuted themselves.

    I often download porn while recording the latest big bands hits straight from the wireless onto a tape.

    I have much to fear if these letters are gonna be mailed to Irishmen too. Afterall in these days of downloading porn, Ireland is still a British colony.

    I don't know how the law works with TV shows because Glee is on E4 which is free to air so As long as you are paying your TV license you are downloading something you've technically paid for. I'm not a lawyer though so I could be waaaaay off the mark.

    Still illegal though, just don't know how you'd be prosecuted for it with the whole loss of earnings thing...

    Hm I hope not...

    Well! I will find out I'm sure. Though you must be right about the Data Protection Act breach.

    I will be greatly amused if I receive a letter for downloading a song or some such thing from when I lived over there two years ago.

    If you live streamed it it may not be an issue.

    But if you download it it means you can watch it whenever you want.

    So it's more like having a DVD of it.
