BBC: ISPs should assume that heavy VPN users are pirates

(Torrent Freak): http://torrentfreak.com/bbc-isps-should-assume-heavy-vpn-users-are-pirates-140908/

    "In a submission to the Australian Government on the issue of online
     piracy, the BBC indicates that ISPs should be obliged to monitor their
     customers' activities. Service providers should become suspicious that
     customers could be pirating if they use VPN-style services and consume
     a lot of bandwidth, the BBC says."

And what should we assume the folks running the BBC are? Pick 
your synonym for "dangerous fools" ...
