it seems only certain ISP's are co-operating, but the law is a court order should be obtained and i think thats reasonable.................

And that is how it should be. The ISP's that are co-operating will soon loose customers though, because i dare say that the majority of their internet users share files.
And the day they all join in will be a very sad day indeed.

Tiscali is opposed to putting rights holders in contact with customers. The service provider said it would only release customer identities when a court order had been obtained by the rights holder. 'We'll co-operate with anyone who says their copyright has been breached, but they must go through the proper channels,' said a spokeswoman.

Just as it should be, but saying that, if people use programs like Peer Guardian then they shouldn't have much to worry about!

So if they just hand over your name to the rights holders you can use the money you get from a lawsuit against the ISP for breaking the DPA to pay for the lawsuit resulting from copyright infringement

Normally the terms of service you agree to with an ISP state that they are allowed to disclose your name and details for example, to the police, if they request them. I don't think it's particularly pleasant even though I don't generally download anything 'naughty' (though, like 99% of the internet connected population I've had the odd mp3 here and there) but there's little anyone can do about it.
