Thanks for the info I'll take a look at the other thread. I didn't even know any of this was going on.

I did look into the digital britain thing and I seven somewhere that the isp will provide an anonymous list to any copyright owner who asks but they will still need a court order to have the names and addresses revealed.

I think that is right but I might be wrong. I suppose the difference in this situation is that while there is likely to be lots of letters educating users I would imagine that the court orders would only be for relatively small numbers and even then they might get one more chance.

It is a shame after seeing how these companies operate that the 3 strikes approach wasn't compulsory but then again that's not were the money is.
