c) Spoofing IPs is easy. Someone spoofs Jason's IP and he gets his internet connection removed.

d) How do you actually PROVE someone downloaded a file? Deep packet analysis. So you lose all privacy as the ISPs have to monitor all your traffic to work out if you MIGHT be downloading something illegal.

You really think all that is a GOOD SOLUTION?

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. Piracy is clearly wrong. But this, in my opinion, is an appalling, unenforceable attempt at a solution.
I think Grandpa John should keep his eyes on what his snotty grandkids are downloading, Bob should secure his wifi, Try spoof my IP, Leave the proving to the professionals.
I think its a start to downloading copyrighted material. Who knows whats a good solution and what isnt until you try it. Do you not try new things?
