After a few weeks of of bad publicity thanks to its policy of working with the music industry to warn file-sharers, Virgin Media has announced that there is “absolutely no possibility” that they will disconnect they users from the Internet or hand over their details to the music industry.
Virgin have said that it was a mistake that all of the warning letters came decorated with a "Important: If you don’t read this, your broadband could be disconnected” message and that they never had any such intentions.
Pretty spectacular U-turn or genuine mistake?

I guess they figured that 6 million UK file sharers is a market too valuable to lose.
They can't really afford to cut people off, so they just try to appear to be doing the right thing.-
