+-   UK ISPs Resistant to Monitoring Users-> on Friday February 15 2008, @12:29PM ethericalzen

ethericalzen writes "An article from BBC News online states that ISPs in the UK are resistant to the government's desires for monitoring their users' data. The government seeks to have ISPs turn off the access of users who are "persistent pirates". The ISPs are citing technical and legal reasons for why they do not wish to do this. Legals reasons include surveillance laws which prohibit ISPs from monitoring a user's data unless compelled by a warrant. Technical reasons include an inability to accurately identify copyrighted material that is legally being transferred over p2p clients and copyrighted material that is being transferred illegally over p2p clients."
