RE: UK ISPs not cooperating with law enforcement

It difficult to tell from the article whether UK ISPs are refusing to
cooperate with lawful requests from UK police, or if UK police are
trying to get ISPs to give information without proper authorization.

It's difficult to argue with the premise that "it was in the interests of
ISPs to co-operate in investigations against hackers and virus writers".

I can recall posts to this list bemoaning the fact that the FBI was slow
or unwilling to launch cybercrime investigations not tied espionage, 
terrorism, or other good, old-fashioned crime.
