Jesus, where to start... The police should find something better to do for a kick-off - if they're insisting on targeting online criminals, the geekier ones should be the least of their worries.

How long does the industry actually think the police or the politicians will help them out with this?

And the industry shows it's naivety once again by thinking the people running the sites will wither at a fcuking letter :roll: :lol:

Dear resident of another country

We think you are breaking UK law with your servers which are based in another country.
If you should bring these servers to the UK we will get very cross

The Police

Reminds me of the letter published by TPB.

I suspect that it will do nothing to stop piracy.

Piracy will continue even behind a great firewall like China's. Where there's a will, there's a way.
