[Bradford] Fw: It Happened

[Paul Colley]

Blocking of course is now common in the UK too but have we gone this far? Any words or actions of succour for me to pass on to my mate in the USofA?

Hi Paul,     I think we once talked about downloading torrents and how the government or cable provider would eventually interfere or stop people from downloading here in the land of the free...
They gave 3 warnings and they took my cable away for 3 days. Next time apparently I am up for a lifetime ban. The cable company said I cannot have a bit torrent.
I can`t believe they are doing this. Is this legal?? Is there a workaround (paid no log VPN I've been reading?).
PS-Insult to injury-todays temperature was 10 degrees below zero.
