UK filesharing community rocked

The filesharing community in the UK is rocked. It was recently announced that entertainment companies are going after thousands of people suspected of using filesharing services to share music, games and videos. One London-based law firm is set to seek permission for ISPs to release the details of 7,000 filesharing offenders.

These users could then be taken to court and face hefty fines if convicted. Davenport Lyons, the firm in question, is the same firm behind the landmark ruling that a UK woman must pay the equivalent of $32,000 for uploading the game Dream Pinball 3D to filesharing networks. This is a major step up in the battle against illegal filesharing and it should have a lot of Internet users in the UK extremely worried.

Britain is getting tough on filesharing and there is very little anybody can do to stop it. The ISPs have already given in and the government supports the new measures, so all that is left is for the entertainment industry to wield its axe and wreak havoc.
