'Lord Mandelson, the business secretary, warned internet users today that the days of "consequence-free" illegal filesharing are over as he unveiled the government's plan for cracking down on online piracy.
Mandelson, speaking at the government's digital creative industries conference, C&binet, confirmed that the internet connections of persistent offenders could be blocked - but only as a last resort from the summer of 2011.'
So we have until 2011 to get a better way of filesharing? Oh, hang on, they wont be in power anymore so its irrelevant what laws an unnelected member of parliment tries to bring in. I'm still intent on visiting Mandys home with a laptop and sitting outside til I can DL some goat pr0n over his wireless. Then selling the story to the NOTW or someone about how he's a secret goat lover. He must be, its his connection.....
