I need to find a Brazzers stream, their porn always looks sick
Ain't gonna happen. At best I only ever get clips. Pisses me off. They get most of the same chicks as BB though.Who remembers when BB went through a phase of getting ugly chicks? Every scene was a chick that you wouldn't even f*ck, nevermind watch get f*cked.

The BPI believes three-step is the simplest and most effective way that ISPs can voluntarily cooperate with rightholders to tackle illegal filesharing. About the three steps Step One: Advice The first letter is intended to be educational. The letters would contain similar information to that Virgin Media are sending to customers in partnership with the BPI: Virgin Media Letter http://tinyurl.com/4yq5lj BPI letterhttp://tinyurl.com/48l9w2 The customer is told why they have been written to, and offers them advice on how to prevent further account abuse, e.g. speaking to others in the household who may be using the account illegally, securing any unsecured routers, scanning the computer for p2p software, and providing a list of legal services. Step Two: Suspension If a customer’s account is identified a second time, their account is suspended. The customer is asked to sign a written undertaking stating that their account will not continue to be used illegally, and that they understand that further illegal use of that account may result in the cancellation of their contract. The account remains suspended until the undertaking is returned. Step Three: Contract Cancellation If a customer’s account is identified a third time, their contract with the internet service provider is cancelled, in line with the terms and conditions outlined in the contract. How evidence is collected and how it is used There is no “spying” under three-step: the evidence collected by the BPI is in fact made available by any uploader to in the normal course of using a p2p network. There is no “policing” by the ISP: it is the BPI, and not the ISP, who collects this evidence. Nor does the process raise “data protection issues”: no personal customer information is collected by the BPI in this process, nor is it requested by the BPI. It’s important to understand how p2p filesharing works. For computers to share files, one computer (uploader) transmits an “IP address” to enable another computer (downloader) to locate the file and download/ copy it. An IP address is a unique number that identifies a unique internet location. It is from the IP address that individuals using p2p networks can be identified. It is simple to tell which ISP “owns” an IP address, but only the ISP knows which customer was using that IP address at that particular time. Without going into precise technical details on how the information is collected and documented, the BPI logs on to the network as a peer - similar to the way in which any other p2p user does - and initiates a download from the IP address, using a semi-automated process. The BPI supplies the information to the ISP, which can identify the customer concerned from the IP address that made the file unlawfully available. This enables the ISP to implement the three step process. The evidence collection process is robust: the technique has stood up to High Court scrutiny on numerous occasions, and similar evidence has been used to bring more than 50,000 legal cases against the users themselves across Europe. Not one of those cases has recorded a mistaken ID, or been successfully contested. For further information, contact the BPI press office on 020 7803 1395. The BPI (formerly known as British Phonographic Industry) represents the British recorded music business

Shouldn't use p2p software in the year 08, no woner they caught u out.stick 2 warez downloading. Alotttt less chance of getting caught. 1- they would have 2 download the rar therself 2 see what it contains and that takes time, so they probly wont bother 2- alot of people name the rar's somthing random so it doesn't look like ur downloading illgeal software/music etcc 3- alot of rar's have passwords so ISP companys wont be able 2 open the rar's without knowing the correct password.some gd advantages about downloading warez.using torrents and p2p networks ur alot more likley 2 get caught for downloading somthing illegal

Virgin Media and BPI join forces to attack illegal filesharingLet's make threatening music togetherBy Chris Williams → More by this authorPublished Friday 6th June 2008 10:04 GMTVirgin Media will launch a campaign against illegal downloading next week, when it’ll begin firing off warning letters to subscribers the BPI believes are sharing copyright music files.The move is being billed by the cable firm as an “education campaign”. At this stage there will be no “three strikes” process; customers who continue to fileshare illegally will not be disconnected.Accounts identified as being used for illegal music sharing by the record industry will receive two letters: one from Virgin Media and one from the BPI. Investigators will monitor copyright-infringing BitTorrent swarms and log Virgin Media IP addresses, which will be passed on to the ISP to identify the customers.Virgin Media will distribute both letters, and no personally identifiable information will be disclosed to the BPI.The letters will include advice on “how to prevent account misuse”, “avoid the risk of legal action”, and warn customers that peer to peer networks carry “increased threats from viruses and spyware”, a Virgin Media statement said. You can read the Virgin Media letter here and the BPI letter here (PDFs).The campaign will run as a trial for a flexible period of about two months. Its effect on behaviour will then be reviewed. Virgin Media claims a lot of account holders may not be aware their kids or others are using their line to download music illegally, for example via an unsecured Wi-Fi network.The BPI has been pushing for enforcement alongside education, but Virgin Media said it was unwilling to disconnect customers who don’t stop accessing illegal music. A spokesman said today: “It’s a bit of a judgement call for us to be making threats of disconnection or account suspension. We weren’t willing to do that.”“There are now so many lawful cheap and free music services out there that we believe an education campaign in partnership with the BPI is the best way forward.”The ISP industry is under enormous government pressure to cut a deal with the record industry following a successful lobbying campaign by the BPI. Ministers have vowed to introduce anti-filesharing legislation if a self-regulatory solution is not found.The BPI has recently begun threatening ISPs with court injunctions if they do not agree to act against illegal filesharers. One such threat sent to Carphone Warehouse received short shrift from the firm’s bosses, who said they would never disconnect their customers and that they didn’t believe legislation will be brought forward.Virgin Media appears to have taken a less confrontational approach to its dealings with the record industry. Although the “education campaign” is toothless in this first trial phase, getting a major ISP to publicly adopt a role in battling illegal downloading is a big win for the BPI.Its chief executive Geoff Taylor said in a statement: “Education is absolutely key to reducing the extent of illegal downloading... this joint campaign with Virgin Media is the first step towards achieving that goal.” A survey commissioned by the record industry earlier this year claimed most illegal downloaders would stop if warned.The BPI struck a deal with Tiscali to implement a full three strikes last year. Four out of 21 warned account holders ended up disconnected from the internet. The deal fell apart however in a row over who should pay for the process.
