Danish High Court Says ISPs Must Be Internet Policemen; Have To Block The Pirate Bay
from the keep-on-blocking dept
Earlier this year, we noted, with surprise, that a Danish court had ordered Tele2, a large ISP, to block all access to The Pirate Bay website. This followed an earlier ruling requiring Tele2 to block access to AllofMp3.com. It's never been clear why an ISP should take on the responsibility of blocking access to a site, and Tele2 appealed the ruling. Unfortunately, it looks as though the company has lost. The Danish High Court has apparently sided with the IFPI, and says that, indeed, Tele2 must block The Pirate Bay. Of course, this is unlikely to matter. Whenever these blocks are ordered, there are always ways around them, and the attention from the blocks tends to alert more people to the site's existence.

By monitoring this line of communications can they monitor phone call in case I want to tell a friend the license key over the phone conversation, or tell some via a phone how to hack something or arrange an illegal activity?

I will just cause more traffic.
The best part is all of the media can be played directly off hard drive plugged into any TV/DVD with a USB media slot, no more plastic DVD crap.

Sad day
The debate over this is negligible in the Danish media.

If you don't think it matters you clearly don't understand the problem.
