Review post on Legal from My E-commerce blog (week6)

Illegal downloading is a major issue for the creative industries such as music and movie maker industries. It is consider stealing their intellectual properties for the sake of personal pleasure. and taking for granted for every effort making this properties.To protect this industries from making more losses in the future. The UK government drafting a constituition to cut off the internet connection of illegal downloaders.

However, as a proverb said "it is easier to say than be done" .The implementation of such law as by the UK government may work in preventing internet users to download illegal intelletual property. Nevertheless, the cost is higher than the desire to implement the law. This is because having Internet Service Provider to monitor,inspect and filter every single packet passing across their network is like open every single envelope and reading its content in the post office.

Imagine if the packet have some sensitive data or private data. These data may have the leak out to the public. The will be confidentiality issue will come into question. This will lead insecurity of our data passing to the network. In addition, even if the law is implementing the Internet Service Provider may suffer a lot of losses due to poor networking services to their customer. Monitoring, inspecting and filtering every single packet consumes a lot of time and it will only lead ISPs customer service center to receive many complaints by the customers. ISP companies may have too use more sophisticated equipment and technology to be able to keep the customers satisfied with the service provided. This will then again lead more cost incurred then the benefit received by these ISPs.

Making these constituition is only "for a greater good" efforts. Even if this constituition is implemented successfully, it will only invited more unorthodox crackers to challege the ISP network system for the glory and self satisfaction of the crackers.
