Instead of de-listing the sites, why not de-list the content? We all know that as soon as one domain name is suppressed three others will spring up in its place, and we all know that 90% of all search engine links to any film are links to pirate copies, so the only way to be sure is to de-list all material relating to the movies in question.
Yeah, I remember you. You were expensive when you arrived, but when the competition was VHS and VCD your victory was assured.
But HD-DVD and Blu-Ray have a real problem - and that problem is you. Go down to the markets of south-east Asia and take a look in the mirror. You're on sale at $2 a disc, and four movies on each disc. That's $.50 a movie, and the customer don't need a new TV. Quality's not what we're accustomed to from you (you must be wrinkling in your old age), but it's still streets ahead of your old friends.
Don't get me started on online pirates, we'll be here all week...
You want a workable solution? Allow us to block access to anyone blocking caller ID. Most professional spammers block caller ID because they know we can and do block them by their phone number, if we can get it. But blocking access to anyone who blocks caller ID violates privacy rights according to the FCC and we can't do that.
What would the FCC's stance be if you only offered limited access to those who block caller ID?
With ordinary access, all ports not explicitly blocked are open. For limited access, all ports not explicitly granted are blocked, plus upstream bandwidth is limited (How much bandwidth does a form mail script need?). Allow port 80 only. This should be enough to allow honest anonymous customers to access the Internet and webmail.
If you still can't discriminate by caller ID, discriminate by payment. New customers get limited access until you get money in your account from their account.
Linus only wrote the kernel, but at five syllables Guh-Noo-slash-li-nux is too much of a mouthful for most people to bother, hence the whole thing gets called Linux. What's needed is a name that doesn't credit with Linus with more than his fair share but is easy to remember and pronounce.
I propose GNULT, pron. Guhnult, which stands for GNULT's Not Uniquely Linus Torvalds'

No Publicity is Good Publicity, amirite?
Now that Microsoft are happy to use Windows Update to "update" other organisation's software, perhaps they'd care to install some too?

Hope this helps, mod away...
If I've understood the name problem correctly:
Linus only wrote the kernel, but at five syllables
Guh-Noo-slash-li-nux is too much of a mouthful for
most people to bother, hence the whole thing gets
called Linux.
What's needed is a name that doesn't credit with
Linus with more than his fair share but is easy
to remember and pronounce.
I propose GNULT, pron. Guhnult, which stands for
GNULT's Not Uniquely Linus Torvalds'
