This will be us soon...

We are giving up control of the internet, and then what is to stop these EU people from blocking stuff for the whole internet.

This is very bad.

Yeah, that sucks too.

I still have to wonder, if the slipper were on the other foot, and I had some valuable thing, and people were using it however they wanted, against my wishes, how I'd want the response to be.

The idea isn't to give other countries direct control (the slipper) over the root zone but instead to go from a single stakeholder model to a multi-stakeholder model where everyone has input.

you are not a major entertainment industry mega-corp, ICE would tell you to go pound sand if someone took some of your work and was pirating it via their website.

stuff like this in the EU and the laws here in the US only benefit groups on the scale of Disney.

This is one of the main reasons the US should never give up control of the internet to Europeans. The internet should remain a world network controlled by the US of A...

isp

oh the implications,,, what if someone used vpn or proxy to access an isp blocked site??
would the isp be in breach of the court order for the FACT that you still accessed a site form your isp that was ordered to block it?

Hi, I'm your competition

And I think you are allowing pirating to occur, so I think I'll just use this handy law to give you grief. You could thank me later, but you'll never know who did it. Hugs and Kisses ....
