UK Government trying to get a grasp on illegal downloading.

The government in the UK have stated that they are going to start getting stricter on copyright downloading. As a result one person has been arrested for using Limewire.

Limewire is not the only P2P (Peer to peer) downloading software. There are many others such as Kazaa. Also there are torrents to download from. However there's more than just P2P, we all know about Rapidshare and Megaupload and all the others.

Most of the people in the UK download from what I've mentioned above. Thus making it more complicated and harder to crack down the people who download illegal things off the internet.

In my opinion, it will not work, however much people are arrested in the process, tackling it is just too late. However for some the warning may make people stop downloading. To be honest I don't know where it is going.
