UK. Net pirates' connection to be cut off

The UK government has been laying out some of the ways it intends to pursue persistent net pirates. The BBC reports.

Initially pirates could have download caps imposed or have their bandwidth restricted.

If that did not prove effective in reducing illegal file-sharing, the government will consider disconnecting them from the network.

... The crackdown will be aimed at people who regularly use technologies, such as BitTorrent, and websites, such as The Pirate Bay, to find and download files
