UK piracy crackdown
Quote:
UK ISPs are to start sending "educational letters" to customers identified as downloading copyright material without paying for it.
It is part of the UK government's attempt to crack down on piracy.
BT, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and Sky have agreed to send the missives, which will be emailed rather than posted.

Get it Right monitors peer to peer networks for illegal downloads.
But many newer forms of consuming content free, such as streaming and cyber-lockers, are not included.
Neither is Kodi and other set-top box software that allows users to stream pirated movies, sport and TV programmes.
