The proposals in the report, drafted by the 73 year old Spanish socialist Manuel Medina Ortega, show many similarities to the wish lists of the RIAA, IFPI and MPAA we published earlier. The report calls for more responsibility and liability for ISPs, while copyright infringing content has to be filtered from the Internet.

ISPs are further encouraged to identify and filter copyright infringing content on their networks. As we’ve said before, this might work on networks such as FastTrack/Kazaa, but it remains unclear what methods the ISP will have to implement to distinguish between copyright infringing and legal content on more tricky networks, such as BitTorrent. That will be a tough job, if not impossible. In common with RIAA recommendations, the report suggests that ISPs should be held liable for the actions of their customers.
you people are fucking idiots if you think this is a good idea.

govt control of ANYTHING is not always a good idea, ESPECIALLY if it involves filtering content. you people are so one track minded.

when has the govt filtering anything turned out good?

the internet is one of the last places on earth to get REAL info and the govts should never have a hand in filtering it or you know what is next? soon you will only get news THEY want you to hear. and the only opinion allowed unfiltered is the "POPULAR" or "ROGHT" one.

it is up to companies themselves to stop infringement, you are crazy to actually want a govt to have a hand in filtering anything around you.

this is why the world is going to shit, you stupid sheep cannot see the big picture and how people in the world our out to control the minds of the average population for their gain. lately it feels like we are globally moving backwards on social issues rather than forward.
