This looks like executive disconnections, most likely the result of a private rightsholder-dominated agency, with ISPs paying half the cost if it messes up and gets sued... very similar to France. It is a major U-turn in government policy as the Digital Britain report explicitly stated that the communications and creative industries are about the same size and killing one to save the other is not acceptable, and handed the question to ofcom. I haven't found a source for the comments about MI5, but they have a point... "Even MI5 disagree with Mr Mandelson - they are convinced we will see a rise of a 'Dark Net' of infringers." - Open Rights Group "In the event we are instructed to impose extra judicial technical measures we will challenge the instruction in the courts." - TalkTalk
