Interesting read on Record labels asking Broadband Providers to collect data on customer illegal downloads. They propose this so that they can monitor illegal downloading of their files but also to send these illegal downloaders notifications "warnings" to customers so that they stop what they are doing, or get sanctioned after three notifications. Does this border our free culture? Does this violate customer privacy under the Data Protection Act?
