[QUOTE="Barrie Jay, post: 795988, member: 1163"] The latest attempt by the UK Government to stop illegal downloads is flawed and looks like it is to become law. It may stop a few but there are ways and means round the plans. They are making it the legal responsibility of Internet Service Providers to ansure that what their customers are doing is legal. So you download something illegal, the ISP then checks what is on your PC and gives you a warning if they find it on your PC, repeat offenders have their download speed reduced dramatically and then, should they continue, have their service terminated. This means that the IP address will be terminated no matter who has carried out the action. Unsure what happens if the download is encrypted - how could an ISP know the content is legal or illegal? By using a proxy server your IP address is not the one shown as downloading the content - it is shown as someone elses - and when the ISP goes to check that IP address the file will not be logged on their PC. People will soon work out how to do this en masse and that is why it will fail - unless they make the use of proxy servers illegal. [/QUOTE]
