The MPAA may try, but WILL NOT succeed.

Sorry though about their sordid attempt to censor newsgroups in Usenet.

Hell they have already started with
“Wikileaks”.Its not a matter of security.We all know whats going on there: The U.S. Government doesn’t want their dirty laundry aired (a.k.a. corruption). Believe me I’ve read some of it and its filthy!! now there is almost a complete global ban on the website.

These torrent websites aren’t offering any means to upload any content, they are simply indexing what is available. These tactics are the equivalent of convicting a reporter for writing a story about a robbery.

They’re Chasing phantoms and for them to waste the time and money on this is utterly DISGUSTING!!!!

Pretty soon applications to block tens, hundereds or even thousands of sites to all isp’s will be the norm and these won’t all be big piracy filled sites. It will be small personal sites, blogs, fansites and just about anything where an image video, text, likeness or piece of music is used without permission.

“The law which the Court referred to is Section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, which provides for possible injunctions against internet intermediaries. Article 8.3 of the European Union’s Copyright Directive, of which S97A is the UK implementation, has been used successfully in Denmark to block rogue sites hosting illegal material, with further cases pending in Germany, Holland and Belgium.”

With respect to Denmark, this is a direct lie. The injunctions in Denmark do not refer to Article 8.3.

Instead they refer to an article in the local danish copyright law, which makes telecom providers responsible if their customers use their transmission networks to transport illegal copies of copyrighted material.

This article predates EUCD, and is in direct violation of EUCD article 5.1(a).

The civil servant who originally wrote this article in our local law was also the top responsible civil servant (legal expert) for correctly implementing EUCD in local danish law, and he failed to do his job properly, because local danish copyright law is now in violation of EUCD article 5.1(a).

This person, Peter Schønning, is no longer a civil servant. Today he is an IFPI lawyer, and he was heading the case about blocking TPB in Denmark.
