Well, the proof of the pudding will be in the enforcement order , which will come out in October. I expect a lot of ISPs the world over will tailor its anti-piracy policies in accordance with this order, in order to forestall lawsuits.
Generally, pirate sites are pretty easy to identify and it won't take much investigation to establish that they traffic in mostly copyright-infringing material. This approach is going to work much better than suing individual consumers or closing down individual sites. There are going to be privacy issues, but hey, if pirates didn't pirate, we wouldn't have to worry about this. |

Actually, no. All major UK ISP's already use a site-blocking system which is used to prevent access to such things as child pornography sites. Blocking access to this site would simply be a case of adding its URL to that list.

So how's that working for you? Who decides what goes on that list anyway? And how exactly does it work, DNS based? Deep packet inspection?

I don't know how it works from a technical perspective, but I understand that the list of "banned" sites is provided by the police.
The practical effect is that if you attempt to access a blocked site, you get shown a page saying that access has been blocked in accordance with British law. |

The IWF are probably most famous outside the UK for banning Wikipedia a few years ago over a 1970s album cover by a heavy metal band. With regards to the original topic, see also: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14293730 |

It is so much easier and really, the aggregator and the yellow pages should send someone around periodically to make sure those listing are on the up and up. If they won't do that both should be shut down. Its for the children. ![]() |

BT provide a means of communication. ISPs should not be forced to become the police of the internet. Not only is it technologically infeasible, it is also unfair.
It is akin to asking BT to prevent users from talking about certain topics over the phone. After all, what's the difference? Voice data is transferred from handset to handset, in pretty much the same way packets of data are sent from computer to computer (most commonly through the very same telephone lines one makes a call from). |

It's unfair that the onus is on the ISP to police the internet. If people choose to abuse the use of a service and utilise it for criminal purposes, is it really the fault of the ISP? P.S. If a terrorist uses a mobile phone to communicate with other terrorists and plot an attack, is if the fault of the network carrier for not stopping them? |

Also, in effect, following this ruling ISPs WILL have to police the internet, as they will not want to have to pay the legal fees BT have undoubtedly incurred as this case went to through the courts. They will want to avoid having to be ruled over. |
