Glyn sez, “TalkTalk, the second largest internet service provider in the UK, has threatened to launch legal action if the government implements three strikes [ed: the plan by which whole households will be disconnected from the net if one member is accused of violating copyright]. They claimed the government’s plan was based on users being ‘guilty until proven innocent.’
“The approach is based on the principle of ‘guilty until proven innocent’ and substitutes proper judicial process for a kangaroo court,”
“We know this approach will lead to wrongful accusations.”
