Italian Court Rules ISPs Must Block Access To Pirate Bay
introt writes "After first being blocked in 2008, an Italian court has once again ruled that ISPs in the nation must block access to the infamous torrent tracker The Pirate Bay, leaving millions of users without access to one of the most popular sites on the planet. In the original case, after an appeal by the Pirate Bay, the Court of Bergamo ruled that foreign websites cannot be blocked over alleged copyright infringement. Fast forward until today and the Supreme Court has ruled that ISPs can indeed be forced to block torrent sites, even if they are foreign-based."
Oh wait, I guess today's theme of remote jurisdictions is all legit today...

This just in: A government agency simultaneously
a. reaffirms the power of the government
b. shows a lack of understanding of technical issues

Since when does it matter that a law is feasible or executable? You must be new to internet laws.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
If you think this sort of thing is unique to internet laws, you must be new to the law.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
Blocking even through a proxy, this should be good. Like patching the wholes in a screen.
That made no sense at all. Did you mean "Like patching the whores in a screen"?
Free Martian Whores!
>I was baing facetious.
Perhaps you should stick with four letter words too?
If you think this sort of thing is unique to society, you must be new to Slashdot. .. wait, what was it we were discussing?
