70 Per Cent Oppose UK ISP Illegal File Sharing P2P Disconnections

Posted: 19th Oct, 2009 By: MarkJ
The Open Rights Group has posted the results of a new YouGov survey, which found that just 16% of those surveyed would be in favour of an ISP disconnecting customers “suspected” of involvement with the downloading of an illegal file (music, films etc.). The majority (68%) said suspects should have the right to a fair trial in a court of law, prior to restrictions being applied.

The survey also revealed that nearly 44% would be less likely to vote for any political party that supported a policy of disconnection. Elsewhere music artists recently softened their position on disconnection to favour service limitations (slower speeds, blocked sites etc.) over a direct cut-off policy.
