This is the third time its been presented and it was worse its still pretty bad though.

EU have ruled that it is against human rights. EU also ruled about DNA retention, extended questioning periods for terror suspects etc etc ect, all ignored.

IP Spoofing wont work. An ISP will only allow IP addresses allocated by its DHCP server onto its network. This is how all these people with cracked cable modems end up with the £2000+ bills, they can still be tracked. The DHCP also grabs your MAC address when your IP is given out. Although this is changeable most people dont realise this.

You Connect, you have no IP so your PC or router broadcasts 'Hi I'm MAC xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx can I have an IP. If the mac is invalid, the server wont respond, else the mac is recorded and you get your lease and your IP addres which is logged against your MAC. With rare exceptions, your MAC is unique, no one else in the world will have that MAC in theory and the MAC is tied to the hardware to the extent its possible to tell who made your network card/pc/router from just the address.

IP spoofing is often talked about but in pricipal, its very, very difficult to do and is detectable quite quickly.

The reason it went through probobly has a lot to do with all these dinners, boat trips etc Lord Mandelbrot has been going on courtesy of the studios. Its easier to criminalise people by making the govt change the law than adapt and make money through new media. This way they can carry on overcharging, locking out markets, region coding, installing illegaldrm software etc as they like without having to change anything.

Laws/bills/acts like this have been sneaking under the radar for years thanks to Labour. for example.

In 2001 Labour gained the legal ability to deploy troops in the UK against UK citizens without declaring martial law. The fuel protests gave us that one. Never reported anywhere.

Check your porn stash guys as most of it may well be illegal. That will be the extreme porn laws last year. Inciedntally no one seems to know what 'extreme porn' actually is. Whacky Jaquie's hubby is probobly in deep do do.

Loads of fiddling has been done to bypass the safeguards inherent in the lawmaking system. Its actually been screwed with to the extent that if Labour decided it didnt want elections anymore theres not legally a lot that could be done about it.

Just another example of blatant corruption.
