In all countries where there are internet connection, we find providers which hosts the network all over the country. In The United Kingdom there are many providers. Some of them: [|AAISP], [|AOL Broadband] and [|Edge Telecom]. These and rest of the providers in UK can see how much you as a use download of copyrighted material such as the rest of providers all over the world. Some of these providers may have seen a high increase of this piracy, but not only them. Other companies who sells softwares have updater's which sends back information about the license of "their product". If it's a pirate-copy they often sue these pirates if its not about only a penny. So the government sees this increase too, thats why they remake the laws.[1]

//But why make them so strict, aren't them strict already?//

According to [|NationMaster] The United Kingdom have really high piracy in relation to other big countries;[2]

So, this should give you an impression of how much piracy there are in UK. //(107 is at top piracy. So UK is at 97 of 107).// This is the reason why they remake the laws. They don't want to that high at the list and they have to many cases on this crime.

My personal meaning of this is that they are doing it right. It can be hard in someways to stop this crime, and someways not. If they first give the pirates some warnings, the most pirates will automatically stop the activity, if they not are criminals and do this for purpose. And then after several warnings, they cut their net off, which I think is fair. A normal person should know where the line goes. Law changing]

At last we have that advanced pirate, which are also called a hacker. Smart hackers tricks the network by switching IP-adress, either through a server or a more advanced way. Here the government and the other companies have a problem. If they can't get the IP-adress they have no chance to track them down. But it is not easy to do these steps, thats why they are called hackers.[3]
