Good old BT
It is not their place to monitor and police the internet, and p2p file sharing.....BPI are having a joke arent they?
Im glad to hear that ISPs are standing up as well to these corporations.
All I can say is the BPI are getting desperate now if they resort to taking Potshots and BT Openworld..
Geez
