Be afraid, be very afraid:

Quote:
The voluntary copyright alert programme (Vcap) will see up to four such warnings issued annually to individuals if unlawful file-sharing appears to have taken place on their broadband connection, but there will be no sanctions for ignoring them.

I can see these letters being a badge of honour for some.

I think I read about this before.
'If you don't stop downloading we'll tell you not to download again'

'...and then if you keep downloading we'll be really, really upset.'

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

I think i read that there will be a limit of 4 letters. I might just as VM to send them all together and save themselves some postage.

in all seriousness, I think the 4 letters thing is just the limit of your ISP's abilities in this regard. If you're an absolute demon for downloading, and what you're downloading can be identified *cough*peerblock*cough*, then I'm sure they're allowed to pass on your details to the copyright holders, and that's whan the midden will actrually hit your particular windmill
