Spain Outlaws P2P File-Sharing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nobody-expects-the-spanish-p2p-ban dept.

Section_Ei8ht writes "Spanish Congress has made it a civil offense to download anything via p2p networks, and a criminal offense for ISP's to allow users to file-share, even if the use is fair. There is also to be a tax on all forms of blank media, including flash memory drives. I guess the move towards distributing films legally via BitTorrent is a no go in Spain." Here is our coverage of the tax portion of this law.

    I don't think I needed to say anything other than to encourage people to read the actual story and discover for themselves. Do you really think the difference between what Slashdot said and what the article actually says is really so subtle that people would benefit from my 'analysis'? I had something to say (Slashdot editors have slumped to a new low) and I said it. Like most posts on this site, mine was my own opinion. I would expect intelligent people to read the article and either agree or disagree with my criticism.
