Ofcom May Regulate P2P, Filesharers Says Culture Minister

Our Comments

Let's see how they do it. Having to monitor P2P would not only be counterproductive but also exceedingly difficult to carry out bearing in mind that operators would need to put in place systems to "sniff data packets" and found out whether the content being shared is legal or not. More legal ways of obtaining unlimited music - Comes with Music and Spotify to name two - have appeared which would allow users to get their fix of music for next to nothing.
