I don't think the BPI realises how clogged up the courts of the United Kingdom are clogged up. I heard that this is a factor preventing the reviewing cases of cot death, when mothers have been tried when suspected of killing their children. Now, if they want to pay for a private prosecution then go ahead, can't see the CPS taking up to the gravity that they would like.
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; the Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; the Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Well what they did hear is MADE a few pay services.. then sued people to get them to use them.. Its like they know people would go away to others, and they said "we have to have a place for them to go besides hell" ANd here we are.
Doesn't section 107 of the Copyrights, Designs and Patents Act 1988 have any bearing on criminal sanctions?
I remember reading about R v Johnstone not so long ago. Although this was a different area within IP if I remember correctly - trademarks.

I know this isn't copyright but I guess it shows there are parts of IP that aren't only civil matters.
