Internet civil rights organizations oppose network-level filtering, arguing that it amounts to Big Brother monitoring of free speech, and that such filtering could block the use of material that may fall under fair-use legal provisions — uses like parody, which enrich our culture.

“The volume of peer-to-peer traffic online, dominated by copyrighted materials, is overwhelming. That clearly should not be an acceptable, continuing status,” he said. “The question is how we collectively collaborate to address this.”

Filtering at a network-level is an inherently destructive act at its core - and the big boys know this.

They claim they're going after "tuna", but will obviously kill a WHOLE lot of "dolphins" in the process...

bound to happen. surprised it took so long.

I'm waiting for the internet underground
instead of www it could be ccc or vvv or xxx or $$$ or FFF or UUU.
I fully expect to see the www collapse and all eyes will point to these businesses that don't understand that word of mouth is a powerful advertiser.
I could even see a dedicated high speed state of the art network being installed. Then again, there is always private satellites.
