The solution to illegal filesharing is good legislation, education and adoption of new legal digital models such as We7's ad funded business. <br /> <br /> Steve Purdham<br /> <a href="http://www.we7.com" title="http://www.we7.com" target="_blank" ref="nofollow">http://www.we7.com</a> To take such a heavy-handed approach towards filesharing is, in my opinion, counter productive.

Disconnecting people from the Internet on the basis of an unsubstantiated accusation, without a court order, without a chance to defend yourself against your accusers, without a chance to see and challenge the evidence - it's positively medieval. Shame on Ireland â– so much for their high-tech economic miracle."<br /> <br /> -Cory Doctorow “The Internet's a single wire that delivers freedom of speech, of assembly and of the press – it's a conduit for civic engagement, health care, employment, education, distant family, love and life.
