File Sharing to Be Banned in UK?

All of us are aware of the stringent Internet rules and regulations of the Chinese government. Well, do we have another China in the making? Reading Lord Triesman’s comments about UK makes us think like that.

Apparently Mr. Triesman, UK Parliament’s under secretary is giving warning signs to bring ISPs under scrutiny and impose a ban/stoppage on their File sharing activities.

Essentially, Mr. Triesman is of the belief that his decision would aid technology companies and influencers greatly. Mr. Triesman added, “it is quite possible to know where it is happening and who it is happening with.” He also added, “we will be able to match data banks of that music to music going out and being exchanged on the net.”

I am not sure what is Mr. Triesman thinking. This could be about filtering of content that is being transmitted across UK. Whatever is the case, the UK is sure to draw a lot of criticism for their unplanned action.

  • I did an article on the matter. Lots of ISPs already filter our content, mainly to stop the spread of paedophilia. Perhaps he means just blocking certain ports?
