Movie Industry Files Injunction Against UK ISP

Posted by samzenpus on from the that-should-do-it dept.

daedae writes "The Motion Picture Association (MPA), which represents studios including Twentieth Century Fox and Walt Disney, have filed suit in the UK against BT, Britain's largest ISP. The studios are asking for an injunction which would force BT to block access to Newzbin, on the grounds of massive losses to Usenet piracy."

    For those who can't read dutch: You poor wretch of a not quite human being. How can you face the dark void that is your miserable life each day?

    Dutch, a language with less native speakers than other great winners like Tagalog or Hausa.

    But don't worry, it's still almost five times more useful than Mandingo. :)

    Sorry, but with the current state of the film industry, I would only watch films if they paid me - paid me an awful lot to watch their awful crap.
