Hey all you file sharers out there, be warned, the Queen is coming to get you:

Queen’s speech includes plan to cut of illegal file-sharers

Today’s speech by the Queen outlined a bill by the UK government to deal with persistent file sharers.

As reported by Macworld in October, the bill involves a measure to cut the internet connection of persistent file-sharers. Internet users accused of sharing files illegally will be initially sent warning letters, but powers to cut off the Internet connection of persistent file sharers will be introduced in the spring of 2011.
