"Families who illegally download movies, music or books will appear on a blacklist and might – in future - have their internet services cut off. The tough new regime, which is included in the Digital Economy Act, was upheld by the Court of Appeal today after judges threw out a legal challenge. Major movie, music or publishing company will be able to require an internet service provider to blacklist customers who illegally download or upload copyright material".

Sounds all very familiar, how long will it take before it will be approved in This country?

Thanks again Mr Sherlock we are waiting for you. :rolleyes:
