CAUSE and EFFECT
The Times: Downloaders and the long road to Disconnection 13/02/08
This seems a bit bizarre to me:
If you put a sweetie on a table, a kid will surely eat it.
It appears to me that what is occurring here is that the government are focusing on "effect" rather than "cause". Why are they not simply closing down the website that enables the download of the video/music (cause) (circumstances).
Human Rights issue maybe!
It appears to me to be somewhat sinister if you pursue the person who is downloading video/music freely available (effect)(consequences) - ie after the horse has bolted so to speak.
It strikes me that this is "illogical", "not thought out very well" and if anyone legally academic is involved deficient in intellect.
Why is it not associating itself with the Computer Misuse Act for instance - albeit is it a criminal issue.
Why are they not setting a precedent at ISP level to deal with pornography!
Jurisprudence - where are you! Discuss
