Pirates 'ignore' warning letters

Sending letters to persistent pirates will not stop them copying, suggests research, reports the BBC.

Only 33% of those receiving a letter from their ISP would stop pirating content, found a survey carried out by legal firm Wiggin.

However, it found 80% would stop if the letter were followed by action such as cutting net connections.

The finding comes a week before the release of a UK government report aimed at tackling web piracy.
