Honestly makes it look like legislation with "sponsorship" from the film industry. I had expected much shadier stuff or those overrun with malware to protect users, not like 90% illicit streaming.
- baby_souffle 9mo ago> or those overrun with malware to protect users The anti-malware companies won't lobby government to block malware as that would cut into sales of their anti virus/malware.
- carpenecopinum 9mo agoThere is no legislation here. CUII is a private organization that generates lists of domains that contain copyright violations. ISPs voluntarily choose to block those.
- like_any_other 9mo agoVoluntarily under threat of prosecution under existing legislation if they don't.
- dark-star 9mo agono, under threat of filing every single copyright claim against them, swamping their legal department. Which is the correct way to do it (i.e. file a claim if you see someone violating copyright law). This just makes it easier for the ISPs
- like_any_other 9mo ago> no, under threat of filing every single copyright claim against them A.k.a. prosecution under existing legislation.
