P2P Security News

Four customers had been disconnected after they supposedly ignored the several cease an desist P2P warnings after the British broadband provider Tiscali's ruled the system put into practice last summer  together with th  BPI. Because Tiscali and the BPI didn’t have the same opinion regarding how the costs should be distributed, the deal finally fell to pieces.

On the subject of this matter, Virgin Media had something to say: "We have been in discussions with copyright holder organizations about how a voluntary scheme could work. We are taking this problem seriously and would favor a sensible voluntary solution."

According to a spokesman, even if the costumers won’t know the precise day of the trial, they will be notified as to when it begins.

It involves a three strike rules scheme which will observe BPI enforcement agents by detecting IP numbers involved in copyright-infringing peer to peer networks. Also, the costumers will receive alerts to stop participation in the P2P networks or their service will be disconnected, by warning given to the ISP.

UK ISPs are forced down by the government to implement this system or to deal with the legislation. France and Japan are closely following these initiatives. As for the Japanese ISPs, they had an agreement with copyright holders, for discovering the customers using peer to peer file sharing services to infringe on copyrighted material and unplug their Internet services.
