Anyone know of a decent bit of software that will mask, or misdirect your IP address when surfing? I'm a bit concerned about this new government incentive about tracking people who download music and movies.

Also download peerguardian which is an ip blocker and blocks "known" ip addys from accessing your pc.

Is this in effect yet - or just proposed ?

Stand down, panic over

ISPs Refuse Monitoring Role - World New News - Digital Trends

Phew

But then again I did think it would be nigh on impossible to implement with the huge number of Broadband users - and, after all why does anyone get Broadband

It's proposed at present val, but I'm sure the Nanny's at labour HQ will see it through. Just like Bus Lane Cameras, and multi occupancy motorway lanes, etc.

Where did I put that ticket to Canada?

The U.K. government says it will consider legal action against ISPs to curb illegal downloading, if they cannot work out a voluntary arrangement.

By Kate Holton

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will impose legislation on Internet service providers (ISPs) by April 2009 if they do not work with the music and film industries to curb illegal downloading, the government said on Friday.

The government released a strategy paper to address the problem of illegal file sharing after the two sides failed to come to a voluntary agreement over how best to tackle the issue.

The paper said the government would still prefer a voluntary solution, but said it would start consulting on possible legislation later this year.

The move follows a decision by the French government to ban access to the Internet for those who repeatedly download material illegally, and follows years of lobbying by the music industry which has been damaged by piracy.

Industry estimates put the number of broadband users in Britain who download files illegally at around 6 million.

"Within the space of only four months, two governments, in France and Britain, have now embraced the simple idea that Internet service providers are uniquely positioned to help in the fight against digital piracy," John Kennedy, the head of the international music trade body IFPI, said.

"This is a sea-change in attitude."

The ISPs would prefer a voluntary agreement and argue that as mere conduits, it is not their place to police the Internet.

But the government has been moved to act to give a boost to the country's creative industries. Global music sales were down around 10 percent in 2007 and the industry estimates that tens of billions of illegal tracks were swapped online in the year.

Britain's leading Internet service providers include BT, Virgin Media, Carphone Warehouse, Tiscali, BSkyB and Orange.

Chaps,

There is almost no way this can be enforced...it's the corporations crying over years of abusing us, sorry our wallets.

If anything it might help to drive down some of the money spent on the tosh that is produced now... all industry needs to be mindful of costs, except the entertainment one which recoverers it by charging excessive amounts...pah rant mode I'm in. I don't even download this stuff, just gets me back up that they (goverment) waste so much time on this BS and don;t attempt to do sensible things like enforce solar panels on new builds.
