Pirates vs BT, Virgin, Orange, Tiscali, BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse

Ding ding round one. well this has been brewing for years and it seems the fight is now turning into a full on fight with six broadband providers unifying to tackle piracy once and for all time. As they are the biggest of the major ISPs in the UK, it will no doubt have some punching power and may even deliver a knockout blow to the pirates.

The agreed plan with the music industry to tackle piracy online will see thousands of letters sent to net users suspected of illegally sharing music, with warnings of
their broadband connections slowed, under measures proposed by the UK government.
BT, Virgin, Orange, Tiscali, BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse have all signed up.

Some casual pirates could ask the question if i have already purchased a U2 album on vinyl LP, and then cassette, and recently CD why should i have to pay a forth time?

Educational efforts and limited legal action in recent years has been used by the BPI but this hasn't had the desired effect in the UK, in contrast to the US, which has embarked on tens of thousands of lawsuits against alleged file sharers.

Do you think there are two sides to the fight?

Should a purchase of an album enable the person to have more freedom in thier use of it?
