It's like any organisation that's losing PROFIT through a 3rd party activity... The BPI won't be appeased by the named ISP's sending out these letters, they'll then push for stricter guidelines and especially details of people that they can prosecute. Where in the end do they stop? Surely after P2P is cleaned up then they'll approach usenet providers for details of the posters IPs????

I know such thoughts go against privacy laws but when has privacy laws ever dominated over legal wrongdoers
