TV Pirates Beware!

If you’re a pirate you’re about to get caught! ISP’s in Britain including Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Sky and BT are going to be sending letters to the homes of people who pirate things like Tv Shows.

Letters are expected to be posted this week, starting 17th Jan.

Torrent users are expected to be targeted first rather than people who use streaming video services.

All the letter entails is where to get content legally, its part of the Government’s “Get it Right Campaign” and the letter starts off with “Get it Right from a Genuine Site” they got in touch with Metro:

‘Get it Right is a government-backed campaign acting for copyright owners who think their content’s been shared without their permission.

‘It looks like someone has been using your broadband to share copyrighted material (that means things like music, films, sport or books).

‘And as your broadband provider, we have to let you know when this happens.’

However what isn’t known is what happens if people ignore these letters!

What do you think will happen?
