This is a blow for sure. Can't help but wonder when the US will follow suit as well. Especially with the CleanFeed software. Unless it's already being done? The US likes to ask for forgiveness rather than permission you know.
I'm not starting another download debate, but the use of that software is legitimately dangerous. It 'could' be misconstrude as being used in accordance to that of book burning. Or in other words, by rendering folks incapable of obtaining information it would be like that of burning books of old deemed dangerously informative.
I apologize if the comment seemed a bit over dramatic, but it does make for a good argument.

The BBC article is the best I have seen in probably forever... Again, it hints toward the entertainment industry's abuse of guilt before innocence, proof of innocence on the defendant & the leeches of the entertainment industry being the sole purpose for most of this judicial BS. Redundantly, "money for nothing".
We're just beating our heads against the wall... Those with money (who didn't actually earn it) are proposing legislation on those of us who can't afford to fight them. These money people have also deepened their own fear campaign of loss onto others of wealth that they too fear for their livelihood & won't question it. They'll believe idiots like the RIAA because they trust the words coming from folks who frequent the same club (rich f&%^s) and that somehow makes the information correct; thus the legislation must also be good.
Although it's crippling the lower & working classes, these idiots are eventually going to realize they're pissing in their own pool.

A dangerous precedent. I hear they are going after other sites they don't like on the strength of this ruling.

The title of the article you posted was
'Pirate' link site stands defiant
...
As for the Hollywood stunts, I commented on those techniques months ago. Wait till Hollywood tries to get around the Triad & their strong arm techniques. They make the Mafia look like a basket full of kittens. But don't take my word for it... read Jackie Chan's autobiography. He comments on having to deal with them as a business as usual. Hollywood hasn't a clue what they're getting into.

Sorry lord I'm not sure why but thought you were refering to some video and not the news post doh.
I think in fairness to china its a clever idea, its not as if people outside china can't still make not so pro china films and does mean the yanks have to jump through someone elses hoops for a change.
At the end of the day who's the real super power now?
