Government announces new ISP legislation

[andrewducker]

"Our response to the consultation on peer-to-peer file sharing sets out our intention to legislate, requiring ISPs to notify alleged infringers of rights (subject to reasonable levels of proof from rights- holders) that their conduct is unlawful," said the report. "We also intend to require ISPs to collect anonymised information on serious repeat infringers (derived from their notification activities), to be made available to rights-holders together with personal details on receipt of a court order."

I'd like to see some detail on the word "reasonable" there...

Yeh but isn't written law littered with the word 'reasonable'? As in proof beyond reasonable doubt. If memory serves I think 'reasonable' in law means reasonable by the standards of any right minded person - which is kinda defining one fuzzy concept in terms of another. I could be wrong though, I'm not a legal expert.
