Talk Talk ISPs are to send "educational emails" to customers downloading pirated content. Virgin Media , Sky , TalkTalk and BT among others, started sending the emails January 17 when they detected broadband connections were being used to download illegal content such as pirated versions of TV shows, films and music. A Virgin Media spokesperson said: "Virgin Media and other ISPs will soon begin sending educational emails to customers who are associated with illegal file-sharing and direct to them to a dedicated website with a list of genuine sources of where they, and others who use their account, can legally access movies, music, TV shows, books, newspapers, games and sports. Torrent users will be targeted by the initiative, rather than users who stream videos online. The emails will list the content in question and then direct users to genuine sources where they can legally download material.
