Now we know which ISPs will monitor our activity and rat on us.

BT, Virgin, Orange, Tiscali, BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse.

BT what happens about unlicensed "radio" streams?

How do we know which streams are licensed and unlicensed?

I wonder what will happen to all those folks who don't realise that wi-fi can be accessed by anyone if they are close enough :-)
I asked a mate to do a test for me this morning, one in London and another in another major town, and asked he scan for free access wi-fi. The London result was amazing.
Now add to that the many places like libraries who offer access, who gets the blame there?
Equally, what about going into an internet cafe with a USB stick......

I can see what they're saying but it's another non-workable scheme and the only people that will get picked on are probably those that know nothing about the Internet and have probably never done even the slightest thing wrong in their life.

And I guess companies will also get fined if an employee downloads.

This reminds me of early satellite with all the dodgy cards. As I said to one well known group, make your service so appealing that people won't want to get a pirate card – nuff said.
