Theres a clever idea

So getting to page two they note that the survey results suggest rather than cutting people off for file sharing you should charge them a £30 fine each month.

Brilliant.

The media industry just got customers for no infrastructure cost and a regular stream of income.  Cutting people off or suing a few for £200,000 has done nothing, they surely never see that money.

There will always be hardcore pirates but the few that are borderline will be converted into monthly paying customers.
