      Indeed, but if everybody is sending encrypted traffic there will be too much noise for them to sort through...

        If he is after serial web pirates then have more than one download going at a time and you're safe - simples.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          Any idea how they will differentiate between those who regularly rip stuff off from the net and those like me who use Iplayer to batter my download limit and my slingbox to batter my upload limit?
          Wow thanks Mandy, its obviously one of my top concerns and therefore I am going to change my vote to labour as a result of you and your parties continued efforts to provide clear, fair and proportionate responses to top priority issues.

            With encrypted torrent systems you never know the keys and they change quite frequently.

              Encryption is not really an issue. All they have to do is plug in a torrent program, download a popular item then check where the packets are coming from. Not exactly tough.

                TOR/Azureus, off the shelf.

                If you can do it, I might have a job for you (serious).

                    Well, that's the joy of voting in a government who wants to make criminals of everyone who's not a member of the party.

                      So someone who has had to resign from office twice for being a liar, and who was then resoundingly booted out by the electorate, is now dictating government policy?

                      These labour people really don't want to win the election next year, do they?

                      Or maybe they are just trying to get us used to life in the EU under that other well know liar, president tony?
