Say what EU Court? ISPs can't be forced to filter traffic? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

In a press-release yesterday, the European Court of Justice ruled that content owners cannot ask ISPs to filter out illegal content.

This doesn't, however, mean the revival of recently blocked usenet indexing site, Newzbin. The ruling only prevents ISPs from being required to implement general filtering schemes to monitor user traffic as this would violate the EU E-Commerce directive a rare outbreak of common sense? IP address are deemed as personal information and as such cannot be blocked as a violation of basic rights!

Can anyone from the EU lend some common sense over here in the US?

Right now, nothing is blocked or filtered, but there is talk of doing so. Nothings gotten through yet, but its frustrating all the same.

No that's not the plan. The plan is to cap you, then sell you TV on demand uncapped, but cap everything else.
