The wheels of government grind slow, filesharing etc

I have just spent a boring 1/2hour reading the guff on the BIS web site. What I noted was these simple things

1 The government regards "Piracy" as stealing if a PROFIT is made, and this is a criminal offence

2 Filesharing i.e. copying for yourself, is "wrong", and is a civil offence

They have a strategy as follows

1 Grow legal markets (downloads)

2 Educate users about rights and illegality

3 Have a graduated response for rights holders and ISPs to use under civil law. Run by Ofcom who will notify illegal activity, and have ISPs release the ID of offenders so that a civil action can take place.

4 Have the Technical Strategy Board look into new ways to pay (e.g. micropayments), rights models and personal security.

Humph!
