Fascinating what impact the UK Government's proposed potential solution to piracy could have on everyone’s data. It states, "A draft consultation suggests internet service providers would be required to take action over users who access pirated material via their accounts."
Which would require all IP traffic being monitored to ensure pirated material isn't being transmitted.
OK in the first instance there will be the observation that it will be certain types of IP packets that are inspected. Surely the pirate "publishers" and "consumers" will start to mask packets to hide the data or encrypt it via VPN style tunnels. Leading to the ultimate solution that all packets would need to be inspected to spot the illegal activity.
Just a thought but where is the processing power to monitor all this data going to come from?
Who is going to fund the initial investment and the on-going running costs?
Will broadband costs rise to cover this new form of "taxation"?
Perhaps the music industry will fund it...
Step back a little further though and rewind through history to the 80's. Pirating was rife and "home taping is killing music" (apparently), although it looks far from dead despite what's happened since then with CD's and Bittorrent.
Did anyone from the music industry suggest feeling letters in the local sorting office? You never know which of those spotty students from some back water polytechnic had been slaving over their 45's and Aiwa tape decks late into the night, just so they could share their newly discovered June Brides single with a friend who couldn't get John Peel in their student digs. And if it felt like a tape then rip that letter open in case it was pirated!
What sort of outcry would have ensued on making that suggestion?
When the home tapers ended up masking the tapes in boxes and obscure shapes would all post have been opened....just in case. Like processing power now who would have funded the countless staff needed to perform the task of opening every valentines card, letter from the Inland Revenue and bank statement?
Granted the general principle of protecting copyright and IPR is well intended as the UK being "a knowledge economy" music is the thin end of the wedge.
To suggest implementing monitoring of all data communicated over the internet is fundamentally flawed in both its ability to be executed and also the implication to both privacy and security of our data.
Rewind. Press Play/Record. Blank tape. Start again.

IITT Training Centre of the Year 2008 and 2007
We won this award. Again. Second year in a row. That's FIVE (count them), awards in three years.
Here are some photo's from the IITT Awards night.
This is what the judges said about why we won.
"Firebrand Training (formerly The Training Camp) offers training courses to IT and management professionals in any industry using a unique, highly effective delivery format known as Accelerated Learning. Accelerated Learning is a method that has been developed and proven for over fifty years, rotating visual, hands on and auditory learning elements throughout the day in a distraction-free residential environment. The greatest challenge of this total immersion philosophy is to how to facilitate students into a deep learning mode and then keep them there, without flinching. It is only by accessing this mode and by removing as many distractions
as possible that the vast amounts of information and first-hand experience may be imparted and absorbed.
It’s vital therefore to prepare them sufficiently for an incredibly intense experience and then to provide an environment that allows them to thrive under such pressure. This approach makes unique demands on the Learning Centre, both in terms of the facilities, the environment,
and the service provided. This is an environment in which it is essential to ‘get it right’ as any deviation from excellence will constitute an interruption in the skills transfer process.
The judges noted that Firebrand Training’s unique facilities at Heythrop Park are both impressive and totally fit for purpose. The company’s Accelerated Learning programmes require an environment that is learner focused and conducive to learning - and one that also involves minimising any distractions.
Great emphasis is placed on the importance of ensuring that all delegates are given maximum information and support prior to their stay. The customer services team proactively engage with every customer pre-arrival in order to ensure that information such as diet, allergies, requisite medication and any disabilities have been noted and provision made for prior to arrival that will make their stay as distraction-free as possible, enabling them to focus entirely on the task at hand.
The Learning Centre’s staff all receive personal development on a regular basis. In the last 12 months alone all staff have been trained in BIFM Health and Safety at Work part 1 and 2, and additionally have receivedcustomer service training by an external trainer.
It is rare to find a Learning Centre that also incorporates accommodation, full service catering, fully equipped labs and proctored testing facilities. The fact that Firebrand Training has been able to maintain and enhance those services over a period of sustained and substantial growth is evidence of its scalability.
The judges commented: “Firebrand Training’s Learning Centre is an excellent role model for the ideal learning centre and we have no hesitation in recommending it to receive the Gold Award for the Learning Centre of the Year at the IT Training Awards 2008."

Again.
Did we mention that’s THREE times????
This is what the Institute of IT Training said at the ceremony as to why we won this year.
“Firebrand Training (formerly Training Camp) has made a highly successful transition from being a franchise to a self–contained business while clearly retaining the effectiveness of its business model and maintaining its market presence. This year has been the most significant for the company and while engineering the complete rebrand and rewrite of all its courseware the company has without external investment shown significant profitability and increase in market penetration having supplied training to over half of the FTSE100 companies.

The holistic accelerated learning model provides a focused business benefit for its clients, including several major companies delivering effective skills and knowledge transfer in a concise time frame. All training is delivered on a residential basis at the company’s dedicated facilities in the UK which provide for all the students’ needs including an exemplary level of catering and all round care whilst progressing through their selected programs. The management team articulated a very clear strategic vision and through
sophisticated reporting metrics employed across a range of data points demonstrated an exemplary level of client satisfaction.
The company’s high industry standing is corroborated through independent research gaining excellence awards and vendor partner training status.
The judging panel recognised the company’s achievements in going through a significant business change while maintaining its quality and client satisfaction levels and significantly growing its profitability. The company is showing signs of business maturity which should provide a secure foundation for its future within the industry sector and is a deserved winner of this prestigious award.”

" Tazud Miah, SCS, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (MCTS) (5 Days) 19/11/2007 to 23/11/2007
"Without doubt, the course was hard work, and if you think you can coast through like on some other courses you will be in for a bit of a shock. However, if you are serious about getting a qualification, and learning something you can genuinely use in your daily worklife, I think that this type of training, delivered by a really excellent instructor, in the context of a very professional setup that works hard to minimise any distractions, is a fantastic way to gain knowledge in a very short timeframe."
