The Pirate Bay torrent users will be hit with a new email, starting this week

New messages are now being issued about downloading illegal content to anyone who has been using torrent sites, starting this week.

They will come in the form of emails and are part of the Get it Right campaign, which aims at educating and advising web users on the thorny subject.

The government is looking to crack down on illegal downloads of movies and music, with the latest figures estimating that over 6.7 million people consumed at least one item of “illegal” online content last year.

Popular TV Shows only available through subscription services are particularly popular on sites such as The Pirate Bay, as well as the latest music from the industry’s biggest artists.

The new warnings are being out by all of the UK biggest ISP's, including Virgin Media, BT and Sky.

TalkTalk won't start sending out emails until the end of the month but is also part of the program that started earlier this week.
