		<description>Think as the BPI/RIAA&#039;s beef is purely with music downloads, they would not have any jurisdiction over Linux downloads.

However, and what is frankly more worrying, should this piece of legislation go ahead, it sets the precedent for even more surveillance of people&#039;s browsing habits. Say a government body or board representing corporate interests suddenly wanted to be able to monitor anyone reading up on say, Islam, the environment, climate change, terrorism, freedom for Tibet - take your pick - once the door is opened to the BPI, you can guarantee that other organisations will want the same rights they are afforded. The scope for abuse is huge.

Never thought I&#039;d say this, but good luck to TalkTalk for telling them where to go!</description>

		<description>Just because someone uses a P2P network doesn&#039;t mean its illegal.

Thats like saying, http://www.makezine.com/ should be banned because you use the knowledge for illegal activities.

If / when this happen I&#039;m going to go on all I can download from p2p.. but everything I get will be legal. (lots of linux distro&#039;s)

If I&#039;m disconnected, I can then sue, because I would have done nothing wrong expect be a victim of BPI.</description>
