I think it will be interesting to see how many people VirginMedia ultimately kick off their network and if there is any impact to that division's bottom line.
You don't have to kick a whole lot off the net to have an effect. All you have to do is kick off a couple hundred and then publicize it like crazy. That will get all but the hardcore thieves to back off.

I dont know about you but I and many other would not longer need high speed connection just to get e-mail and a little brosing the net.

This move could harm the internet as a whole.

Copyright infringement is not theft. Why can't you numskulls get it through your head.

From Dictionary.com:

# Breach or infraction, as of a law, right, or obligation; violation; transgression.
# An act of infringing.
# An act that disregards an agreement or a right.
# A crime less serious than a felony.
# A violation, as of a law, regulation, or agreement; a breach.
# An encroachment, as of a right or privilege.

Theft is when you steal a physical object belonging to another person while copyright infringement is when you copy IP without permission from the copyright holder. There is a huge difference between the two.

So in both cases, someone is getting something that was created or built by someone else and not paying for it. Correct?
