There are some utils I've developed that allow you to do just that.
I need to bring this stuff back online don't I?
Shame the Information Commissioner hasn't resigned yet. That would make the decision so much easier.

Fully committed unless those people are web site owners who do not opt in to interception, or run unencrypted but private web servers, or expect to assert copyright over their creative work.
Which I guess would cover around 99.99% of web servers.
So my comment? That's not good enough DfBERR. Not good enough at all.
You can't build a new internet by stealing content and reselling it. You can't offer unlimited broadband because there is no such thing.
Dealing honestly with content owners, investing judiciously in your product, and being fair to end users is your only option. And ISPs seemingly can't handle that simple truth.
