Not the "craic" the Irish are used to :p. The IRMA which I assume is Irelands answer to the American RIAA has been pressuring ISP's. Eircom are the first to be sending out mass loads of letters to "alleged" file sharers, they do seem to be making out that they are after uploaders not downloaders though (they prob mean torrent users then). They want to have a 3 strikes alike rule with a letter at level 1, a phone call at level 2 and loss of internet for upto a year for level 3. I would love to see how they are going to prove who did what with what, considering all they have are IP addresses it could be anyone behind them.

Best semi-Irish related pic we could find Google Images really failed on this one :

"The Irish Republic has begun a piracy crackdown which could see customers cut off from the net for a year.The country's biggest net firm Eircom has begun sending letters to those identified as illegal file-sharers."
