I agree. This ruling is absurd. This extrapolates to mean that all works written for a symphony orchestra violate the copyright of the first tune performed by a symphony orchestra. This is the legal system gone mad. If it had been put up as a design patent issue then maybe I could agree in part but then prior artwork would have shot it to pieces. Every tourist that has ever been to London prior to the original photo used in this case should be looking at their photos and launching a suit for breach of copyright on the supposed copyright holder.
Next time I try to log in to BBC News from Shenzen I will imagine that the firewall doesn't exist and maybe just maybe I will be able to read the website.
Seriously though when you atry to access a site that is restricted your computer goes shows up to 18% on the access window then stops and tells you the website is unavailable. Ain't no social engineering there just plain engineering. It is fustrating at times but it does block a lot of dubious and unhealthy sites as well
