BT actually requested that they have more time to think about how to do it.

It's probably still allowed in Scotland though.

if you're not on one of the major ISPs you'll be fine
and people who really want pirate material probably don't use the big rip-off companies anyway

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 1 May 2012, 9:43, Reply)

nah it's 5, and they were sent court orders
which is like me sending you a letter saying 'opplease don't do that anymore'

BT are still trying to decide whether they will do it

either way, they're all pricks
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 1 May 2012, 9:23, Reply)

yeah, but failure to obey a court oder would be a criminal offence
so they will all do it.

Everyone's a prick, Quints. I thought this was established?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 1 May 2012, 9:24, Reply)

i wouldn't bet hard cash on it standing up in court tho
your first argument would be 'BUT NOBODY ELSE HAS TO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH'

you are correct. prick
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 1 May 2012, 9:25, Reply)

I think the fact it's a court order would kind of be what makes it stand up in court.
but, yeah. That might be used as a defence. but I reckon the 5 will just do it, no real skin off their nose.

I have personal experience of the meaningless nature of court orders.
