Cat and mouse ala blue box/ phone hackers

There goes the whole fan translation business. I wonder how exactly the technology will work. Also will some one have to actually look through the petabytes of data that stream through P2P? Then they have to prove that such data is illegal through a court before any action or strike can be put against a single person. I am quite sure that the first person to get nailed on one of these laws will have a few top rated layers flock to the case for both sides much like wiki leaks situation(even though they are completely different).

Its just going to turn into a cat and mouse game since before anyone gets the plug pulled they still have to prove the data is pirated and not the latest version of your preferred flavor of linux.

You may be assuming too much about how this kind of law may be implemented in Japan.

But you're onto the right issue: what are the standards or proof, and what protections will there be from harm based on false accusations?

The original article ( »www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20···1305.htm ) says that the accusations will come from copyright holders, and that the ISPs will form a group to decide how to implement the proposal. But the last paragraph calls into doubt whether proof of infringement will be required at all - it reads as if a mere accusation by the big coyright holder groups will cause the citizen to be denied internet access.
