After Business Secretary Lord Mandelson called for tougher sanctions on those illegally sharing files of copyrighted material, spokespeople for some British Internet Service Providers have howled in righteous pain. Milord’s suggestion that parents of file-swapping children might be subject to fines evoked particularly raucous – and predictable – yowls from the likes of Virgin and TalkTalk. Especially when talk of penalties reached 50,000 pounds and repeat offenders would have their plug yanked out of its socket.
Implying that the Secretary practiced an antique morality that requires thieves to be punished, one spokesman for an ISP suggested Lord Mandelson didn’t “get” the Internet and proposed such Draconian alternatives as “educating people” and “writing letters to alleged file-sharers.” Many a British parent must be trembling today at the prospect of receiving a letter from an Internet Service Provider or, worse, having their children educated about not taking things that belong to others.
