Lightbulb UK Government wants to cut illegal filesharing by 80% by 2011 - 07-31-2008, 07:08 AM

Quote:
The government has set a secret target to reduce illegal filesharing of music and films by up to 80% over the next three years, MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal.

The goal was outlined in a letter by Baroness Vadera, the business minister, relating to the agreement the government struck with internet service providers and the film and music industries to curb illegal filesharing.

The leaked letter, dated July 22, was sent to all the proposed signatories of the memorandum of understanding which proposes to "significantly reduce" illegal filesharing in the next two to three years.

"Although this letter has no effect on the agreement, which stands in its own terms, this may help to ensure all signatories have the same expectations," Vadera wrote.

"I would regard a reduction as 'significant' if it had reduced the number of people filesharing unlawfully in the UK by well over 50%, and we hope in the region of 70%-80% from a baseline to be agreed, with work to start immediately, rather than waiting for legislation."

Well, good luck on that one, Baroness Vadera - and while you're at it, you COULD also try to do a MUCH simpler thing: Getting your virginity back

Shooting dead 80 percent of the UK population under age 30 would do it. Anything else is blowing smoke.

It would still be impossible to eliminate 80% of the remaining 20% (that's 16% of the original)
