torrentfreak.com — The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is trying to convince European lawmakers that ISPs should take extreme measures to fight piracy. They suggest that ISPs should block access to websites such as The Pirate Bay, and block filesharing protocols, no matter what they're being used for.

Add world of warcraft to the video games list. Blizzard releases their patches through bittorrent.

How do you excuse your ignorant assumption that I am trying to excuse copyright infringement? It looks like you are the only one doing the excusing - excusing killing legitimate use of technology when the power and ability to deal with just the pirates and to increase the legitimate uses of technology is already there.

Look, they can go f**k themselves okay. We pay for the damn service, its our damn right, and bittorent especially for the OSS community is absolutely essential for the survival of many projects.And blockin TPB would be censorship which is violation of the first ammendment anyway. They're just blowin' smoke out their asses...
