In July, it was noted that a British court has ordered ISPs to start censoring the BT network, starting with a lock Newzbin2 that the MPAA has attempted to destroy it. When a user has requested the Court to seek alternatives to censorship, the Court rejected this request and issued a decision giving BT only 14 days to find a way to block users access to Newzbin. Not surprisingly, the entertainment industry is very excited. Any new opportunity to put the full weight of the PSI is to celebrate. Why the entertainment industry has to adapt to a changing world where you can run the court and the court have the force of high-tech companies to claim that new technologies do not exist.
A scary few details on the full ruling, starting with this: the cost of implementation of the embargo is totally dumped BT. The judge seems to say that because BT is a business, and earnings of people who use their services to infringe must be paid. It's ridiculous. The fact that people use the service to violate the law of BT, BT should not bear the cost of user activities stop.
The next, rather than simply blocking the URL, BT to block URLs using intrusive, privacy, destruction of deep packet inspection ... and "redirect" IP addresses. The studios and the MPAA have just to keep the presentation of all URLs or IP leading to Newzbin find, and easily added to the list of blocks. And, at the request of Hollywood, the judge allowed the expansion, so that even if a URL or IP address legal point of content, with Newzbin, URL and IP can be censored.
Finally, and most surprisingly, the judge seems to accept technological cluelessness of the court in the admission that he did not realize the full IP address block (instead of re-routing) could lead to blocking of sites on the innocent. And yet still went ahead, despite this recognition ignorance rather obvious.


And with that, the UK takes a step closer to the web blatant censorship
