[Sheflug] 3 Strike Petition

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there

Not sure if I'm supposed to take this seriously but here it is 
anyway...

I don't personally feel either way about web sites like - 
www.piratebay.org - and others.  However, what is wrong is that the 
Government's approach to this is that since someone has accused you of 
online piracy then you are disconnected.  Once the spammers get hold 
of this everyone will be disconnected :)  Other than that.  There is 
no defence.  You are guilty.  No sign of any chance that you can 
explain that you are innocent.

Sign the petition if you think that you agree that this is wrong.
