"Does the whole household get cut off when one member illegally fileshares?"

I would imagine the entire connection gets cut-off, because it would be very difficult to allow the household to keep the connection and prevent one person from going online.



What if they move house? what if its a big house? or several flats? an internet cafe? a business? a university?


I can see three plausible options:

  i) The government throws its hands in the air and gives up.
  ii) The government cuts off the entire building/complex.
  iii) The government cuts off people entirely at random.
Knowing the way most governments tend to work, my money is on number 3, with number 2 coming in a distant second.
