I hope for gawd sake that this doesn't become relevant to the UK otherwise ACS/DL and other law firms chasing bogus copyright sharing claims will have a field day in the UK

Your dead right though Kymmy, i was having a chat with someone in the pub yesterday, his son had received a letter about 3D pinball but had not sent them any money. I told him it`s a big scam that started in Germany and they would have to prove you where the one using the network.

I thought it would already be relevant to the UK under the Digital Economy Bill, since wifi hotspot owners are responsible for any traffic on their network
