Sunday Bloody Sunday - The end

Hey,

today we first did a quick warm up about "illegal downloading". Here is what we said about the document we studied: 

 
The document deals with illegal downloading,  i.e.when people download music from the Internet for free / without paying.
Lily Allen has threatened to quit the music industry if people continue to download her music for free.
In London, with Pink Floyd and RadioHead, they have made a proposal to the government: if the police knows someone downloads illegally, they will first send 2 letters of warning and then slow down the hacker's Internet connection. 

Voc:

(to) slow down = ralentir

(to) shut down = fermer

You can listen to the document again here:
