I haven't finished reading all the posts but, most of them so far have missed the point. The point is "Internet file-trading networks can be held liable when their users copy music, movies and other protected works without permission" There is no mention of code unless it is specifically used to perform such task and is advertised as such. The real question is "Now this hurdle has been leaped. What keeps ALL ISP's from now censoring their traffic?? Could this be the start of a legal police state OR the end of Porn and Spam as we know it?
Kinda like the following:
1) Purchase vehicle from : "enter favorite car company"
2) Car has known flaws from manufacture : "Pinto, Chevy Saddle Tanks, Firestone Tires on SUV"
3) Dealer tells you that they will fix the flaws for a yearly fee.
