Old news really, I believe they are in the federal court at the moment waiting for a landmark verdict - it seems as if they might win as well.

Only Popular sites will be hit but bills could be around £5000+

Another problem with them: I looked at getting the ADSL when it's in my area, but my friend at an ISP (who also provides it but BT owns the lines) that you don't get your own line. Essentially, they wait until 50 people in your area ask for it and then install it, you all have 24/7 connection at high speed but it's split 50 ways. So bang goes the arguement that it's 10 times faster! It's technically 5 times slower if all 50 people d/load at the same time. BT just rely on the fact that this won't happen in homes. Wankers.
