REDTEN actually responded.
after all this time what did this great response say.
One word.
NO.
Thanks got another email address for redten then try Alex at redten now.
They must realise that a response like that is in writing hard evidence,they really dont give a sh*t.

I cant' believe that the FOS aren't interested if we signed before April 07 - Thats outrageous.Anyway, I have another idea up my sleeve - will report back later!Beware the character seeking personal gain masquerading as a moral crusader.

Hi All,
I noticed this on MSN thought it was intersting, appologise if it's already been up.
Illegal downloaders have been given an unexpected fillip by the European parliament, which has voted in favour of an amendment that would make a ‘three strikes and out’ system to punish people an infringement against their human rights.
Although the UK’s government did not ratify any measures for punishing those who were transferring and receiving copyrighted material such as music or movies across the internet, it did suggest that the ISPs should take responsibility for the growing problem.
In France, the government has thrown its weight behind a three strikes and out system – two warnings for those using peer to peer (P2P) networks to download copyrighted material illegally followed by the suspension of internet access for a third offence.
Civil liberty
However, it now appears that any punishments of this ilk are not supported by the European parliament which voted (narrowly) in favour of an amendment that would make removing someone’s internet connection in this way an offence against their civil liberties.
The amendment "Calls on the Commission and the Member States to recognise that the Internet is a vast platform for cultural expression, access to knowledge, and democratic participation in European creativity, bringing generations together through the information society."
And therefore: "Calls on the Commission and the Member States to avoid adopting measures conflicting with civil liberties and human rights and with the principles of proportionality, effectiveness and dissuasiveness, such as the interruption of Internet access."
So, it’s official – you have a human right to be reading this.
