There has been a lot said about the UK governments plans to legislate against those who download music for free, through peer to peer networks.
The new system proposed is a 3-strikes regime whereby if you are caught downloading music illegally you get 2 warnings and if you persist your Broadband connection gets cut off.
From a legal perspective these new penalties seems very suspect, indeed from several perspectives and indeed every way I try to look at it, this seems wrong. One smells a big fat record industry rat...
