@ "Ytrewq" - You are still confusing two completely different scenarios
Firstly ACS...
...the big difference is that ACS et al are doing this on mass, their evidence and grounds for the NPO are tenuous at best, they have been sucsessfully granted so far because no one has asked questions, the ISP`s have on mass taken their fees and turned over the requested info...
and most importantly of all - they do not care if you are guilty or not, they have your address and they WILL hound you for money. Their actions dop not really tally up with their message of "we are protecting our clients interests", in reality it is more like "money, money, money"
Secondly, Digital Britain...
...ignoring the fact that this was rushed and ill thought out, you are correct, it does indeed lay down a "recomended" proceedure for dealing with this area. Amongst other things an infringer is supposed to be repeatedly warned about their "activities" (3 times I think) only then should "legal action" be considered and again from what I understand an NPO will not be required to gain account holders info from the ISP. My knowledge of the precise mechanics of this new act is decidely shaky so please forgive any inaccuracies!!!!
Clearly this will NOT result in huge quantities of cash being generated
If you are interested in this area could I suggest you start at page 1 of this thread, there is also a 440 odd page thread over on slyck forums, etc
