I not sure if the above statement is true but here is the article I got it from:

Britain's new Internet law -- as bad as everyone's been saying, and worse. Much, much worse. - Boing Boing
Unfortunately it is true, which is why I'm totally against it. Sharing material illegally should remain against the law, but somebody should be charged and put on trial if they are accused, not disconnected with no evidence.

In Hull we only have one internet provider. They started doing this here, just disconnecting people without warning or without providing evidence. They were forced to stop.. under this law they'd be allowed, forced.. to continue.
