A British-based anti-piracy group is seeking tougher copyright legislation that would require Internet service providers to turn over the names of suspected pirates to movie studios without requiring a court order. In a statement, John Lovelock, head of the semi-official Federation Against Software Theft (FAST), appeared to acknowledge that his group regarded such legislation as ideal but possibly beyond attainment. Under it he said, "personal data relating to a given IP address may be given to the rights holder on request, without a court order being needed, which is arguably gold plating." Lovelock appeared to suggest that an accommodation between copyright owners and ISPs, under which the ISPs would turn over information about suspected pirates upon request, is unlikely. "A voluntary approach would be the easiest solution but experience has shown that such an approach may well not work, as it is dependent on a full consensus [among all ISPs] being achieved," he said, noting some ISPs would be unwilling to alienate their customers.

That guy's a freakin' fascist, plain and simple. Anyone wanting ISPs to spy on their customers should be chemically castrated and forced into a mental institution for the rest of their useless, pathetic Nazi existence.
KingBubba45: While I agree with your sentiment, stopping ppl having their warez is quite a different ballpark than a leader initiating state sponsored genocide.
...Godwin's Law strikes again.
Even so, this man is a putz, either trying to cater to the interests of the various pro drm groups for a kickback or other support, or just someone who's completely out of touch.
