"force ISPs to warn, then disconnect, those customers they think have been sharing copyrighted material online."

How can they disconnect you because they THINK something is going on...I thought that in the UK you were innocent until proven guilty?

If you are downloaded heavily encrypted content from a P2P site...how can the ISP or anyone PROVE that you are downloading copyrighted content?

Someone should test an ISP on this by taking them to court if and when disconnected.
