Why should you always download content from a genuine site?

“Gagging orders” should be banned. it is effectively bribing a vulnerable (ex) employee not to reveal information that is prejudicial to others in public service. While many people could take a moral stance and not be “bought off”, losing your job and being left in financial difficulty might well make one reconsider one’s morals.

On the money Derek Windows 10 actively blocks security apps that help you on the net because they try to block MS,s snooping and talking about snooping the Lords have passed the Snooper Bill which will be enacted by the end of the year and they can officially do what they have been doing for decades–unofficially , storing every website you visit on their big computers , not that I visit too big a variety unless I am checking something out , they know the small number of ones I visit regularly , they just dont approve of them.

The major UK service providers put up zero fight against intrusion and “take over ” by our security service at least some of the Americans tried . Its getting a bit sickening when they are actively doing “propaganda ” exercises on their behalf , its all pointing to more overall “guidance ” ( forcefully ) in what the British public can access ( one cut at a time doesnt look much but the subject ends up dying –eventually ) . Its pretty bad in this country just now , if it gets much worse they will be treating us like primary school children , many websites that are political only are blocked in this country and even informational ones are “hard to access ” I dont know how they have the “brass neck ” to say -we are “democratic ” in relation to slagging off other countries , but at the same time they are now doing a “be friendly with the public ” campaign , we are nice , dont worry ( just keep taking the pills ) , who are they kidding ? but hey ho ! we have to stop those dreaded “terrorists ” somehow –right ?

I am not sure if my understanding is correct but the way I read that comment was that these e-mails would only be sent to those internet account-holders whose accounts were associated with illegal file sharing, in order to inform them of the fact and point them towards genuine sources. There would be no point in the ISP’s sending a message to anyone whose account was not associated with illegal file sharing. It could have been presented more clearly.

I hope you are right, John, but we have seen so many examples of the commercial world taking liberties. I may be wrong but I thought that anti-piracy warnings were already being used by ISPs.
