This looks like executive disconnections, most likely the result of a priva=
te rightsholder-dominated agency, with ISPs paying half the cost if it mess=
es up and gets sued... very similar to France. It is a major U-turn in gove=
rnment policy as the Digital Britain report explicitly stated that the comm=
unications and creative industries are about the same size and killing one =
to save the other is not acceptable, and handed the question to ofcom. I ha=
ven't found a source for the comments about MI5, but they have a point...

"Even MI5 disagree with Mr Mandelson - they are convinced we will see a ris=
e of a 'Dark Net' of infringers."

"In the event we are instructed to impose extra judicial technical measures=
 we will challenge the instruction in the courts."=20
