Question

I heard a report on the radio about virgin media sending out letters warning of filesharing what does it mean?

Answer 1

its the music industry who are sending the letters out virgin are just the first isp to back them. the others will follow.so switching isps is A costly if you are in contract and B pointless.the letters are only a warning but eventually they will block file sharers.

Answer 2

Check out the report below

Answer 3

It means that some of their customers (not websites) are sharing files, which is illegal, so they issued a warning to them.

It's a knee-jerk reaction, and will only cause them to lose customers.

Answer 4

To stop the illegal sharing of music files etc, and about time too.

Answer 5

They are sending the letters to try and stop people going on filesharing websites and downloading illegal music and films. I think it's a stupid thing to do!! They need to target the websites, not the people that use them!!
