I had my router hacked 2 times (I'm using WEP encryption because my router and laptops doesn't support WPA). So WTF should I do??? I'll end up getting fined for other people using my WiFi connection ?
I think, if Virgin Media will start using CView DPI tool, I'll cancel the broadband contract and I'll start using my neighbors Wireless connections. I'm pretty sure many people will do the same.

I don't wanna get fined when I'm innocent!!!!!!!!! I need internet and I cannot afford to replace the WiFi router and the laptops!!!!

To the article author: "copywritten" isn't a real word; the past participle of copyright is copyrighted.

Does Virgin Media still run that most excellent Usenet service crammed to the rafters with binary newsgroups?

I worked for a company that published and printed newspapers and other media. One job that we had was to publish a biweekly newspaper for the local AirForce base. The AirForce leased computers from our copany to design the paper, and every bit of software that those computers needed was downloaded illegaly!.

Someone (not I) let it be known what they were doing, and someone with the local police gave us an early warning that they would be showing up the next day. Needless to say, the next day staff were using programs like notepad to write the newspaper ;).. It was eventful!

I have a few points to make regarding this article.

1. In relation to Virgin Media's consideration of introducing this DPI spying tool, I believe it to be completely unacceptable and I don't feel this should be introduced whatsoever.

2. In 2004, it didn't seem much of a concern to anyone that people were torrenting illegitimate copyrighted material apart from the publishers of that material, however no key actions were taken.
- in 2009 and 2010 this is completely different.

You are writing an article based on a CLAIM from an EX-employee who left the company 6 years ago, and now asking others to 'come forward' and provide internal information on a company which has since merged with NTL, the other major cable operator at the time and also went through an entire re-brand.

Well, I don't know where I'm going with this but frankly I believe this article is completely irrelevant to Virgins current position on deploying the CView DPI tool.

Also, should this internal community message board have existed, what people need to remember is that it is a COMMUNITY message board, did it occur to the writer that the source may have been involved in submitting said torrent links onto the board and then been disciplined and removed from the company as a result?

Only a speculation, however that is essentially what this article entails - speculation.
