UK to get tough with illegal downloader is one of the posts that I had reviewed. Then, is it UK very successful in tough with illegal downloader?
A draft consultation suggests internet service providers (ISPs) would be required to take action over users who access pirated material via their accounts. However, the government is stressing that plans are at an early stage and it is still working on final proposals. And the government proposals were first reported by the Times newspaper.
Based on The Times said, “People who illegally download films and music will be cut off from the internet under new legislative proposals to be unveiled next week.” Actually it is balderdash and the fact initiated that this nutty proposal is getting anywhere at all illustrates how ignorant the powers that be are about downloading.
Five reasons that Why Illegal Downloaders Will Not Face a UK Ban as follows:
1. This proposal was a draft consultation green paper, defined as “a proposal without any commitment to action.” The government receives many of these on a daily basis. So, there were being ignored.
2. This proposal is unworkable in the real world. ISPs no liability as the content is not hosted on their services, and it would be impossible for them to open and check whether the every single download and upload was legal or not without the entire Internet grinding to halt. There is no interest for the government, ISPs or the voters as exposing yourself to billions in liability and that is not a good business strategy.
3. Impossible and difficult to differentiate between illegal downloading and legal activities such as downloading software patches, using torrents to share stuff legally, playing online video games, telecommuting, and many others. The resistance from the private sector would be as strong as it would from the general public.
4. This idea against the ruling of the European Court, which says EU member states are not obligated to disclose personal information about suspected file sharers. It would fly in the face of Article 10 of the European freedom of expression laws which initiate every European the “freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.”
5. WiFi piggybacking and encrypted packets make it impossible to tell who is downloading what in the first place. These techniques are only getting more sophisticated, while for the most part, the content industries collectively remain as dumb as a box of hair.
