They say you can get in trouble for sharing music. What happens if you just download? If you use limewire for example, and you download a song and immediately turn off limewire, you technically didnt share any music. If you just download, you're not sharing. Can you still get in trouble?

Yes there is a new digital bill about to come into law in the UK. Which will give the power to your ISP to slow down your internet connection to a speed slower then dial up.

Do you know how and when they decide to do this? Are they checking web traffic for bittorrents or whatnot and how are they defining legal against illegal content?

It is an interesting issue.

In layman's Talk.

To tackle online infringement of copyright, by placing obligations on Internet Service Providers to work with rights holders and, if necessary, to take technical measures against infringing subscribers. It also provides a power for the Secretary of State to introduce Regulations for rights holders to seek a court injunction to prevent access to specified online locations for the prevention of online copyright infringement;

This gives the government powers to access everything you do and wright on the internet.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING.

The government have the power in an emergency to declare marshal law. But it dosn't stop there they can call almost anything a emergency the term is so broad. This includes loss of power to a home. As this power is used under a royal parogative, which is the power the royal family handed to parliament after the civil war. This is the ultimate law and allows the PM to make any law he chooses with out having to go though the channels of parliament. So in a nutshell the PM can declare Homelessness an emergency have all the homeless people shot and there is not a thing that anybody can do about it. There is nothing stopping him ever undeclairing an emergency he can just go on. The last PM to use the Royal parogative was Tony Blair when he declared war on IRAQ without the backing of Parliament and there was nothing to stop him.

It seems like this topic is taking to a broad talk or something and now we get into politics and talking legal issues and governance.
