Some new legislation was passed in the UK which will possibly make it difficult for people to download content like that listed on this site. New filters are meant to be implimented to block downloads from file sharing sites. While this means that we can still access this forum, and associated link pages, we might be prevented from downloading the games.
Just wondered if u guys have any thoughts on this matter ?
For the moment ISP's are waiting for the first court cases to come up.
Omg its like all of a sudden we are living in China !!!!
New bill in UK
