British Telecom (BT) has teamed up with the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) to tackle the supposed problem of illegal filesharing. In shocking news, BT will apparently be cutting off customers who use their service to access copyrighted material through filesharing networks. We never thought this would happen in the UK.

This comes after Virgin announced that it will be sending out letters to people suspected of filesharing, but BT is taking it a step further. Virgin never implied it would be cutting off customers from the Internet.

BT has said that it isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary as customers should adhere to the ISP’s rules. Customers who continually break the rules (by downloading music?) will have their accounts suspended or terminated.

This is all kinds of stupid and can only result in a serious backlash. Where will BT draw the line in deciding who gets cut off?
