Interesting link from Linux Security Week:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/15/search_companies_and_isps_may_be_asked_by_gov_to_tackle_copyright_infringement/

Apparently in the U.K. the government can force ISPs to block Web sites
that provide copyright-infringing material. Apparently that isn't enough
though: now they want a new law that would force ISPs to actively search
for such Web sites.
