ISPs to Ban P2P With New European Telecom Package?

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-torrents-for-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ZeroPaid is reporting that ISPs could be turned into the copyright police through European legislation that received a number of 'intellectual property' amendments. Many of these amendments can be found here. Judging by the amendments, ISPs could be mandated to block legitimate traffic in an effort to 'prevent' illegitimate traffic. To help stop this legislation, you can check out the action page. Additional coverage can be found on EDRI and Open Rights Group."

    P2P isn't just about illegal file sharing, it's bigger than that.

    Yes, but not much bigger.
