I agree that this is a good approach.

One reason is that the order was made by a judge after a proper court hearing. This is in contrast to the original provisions of the Digital Economy Act, which would have allowed rights-holders to force ISPs to disconnect individual alleged infringers, with no judicial review and no right of appeal. In other words, the rights holders would be their own prosecuting council, judge and executioner.

It's also more efficient to go after the pirates themselves rather than the individuals.
