Re: Penalising downloaders

As we know, TPTB are considering imposing a regime under which persistent sharers of copyright material will ultimately have their Internet accounts closed.

I've recently been trying to discover how to stop users on a network using P2P. It turns out there *is* no reliable way. I thought it would be a matter of blocking ports on the router, but apparently many of these filesharing packages use port 80, which you can't block without also cutting off Web access.

So in practice, I have no way of stopping it, apart from not allowing anybody but myself to use the connection. How, then, should I respond to an (as yet hypothetical) warning from my ISP that I must stop it or lose my connection? Any ideas?

The only way I can think of at present would be to move to a country that doesn't give a rats arse what you download
