тем временем английские законы становятся еще веселее:
Jenny Willott, Lib Dem MP for Cardiff Central noted that whilst the Internet Watch Foundation focuses on images that can be downloaded – the traditional web route – images accessed through other means, such as streaming, are not within its remit. She asked Mr Starmer (Director of Public Prosecutions): “If someone is watching streaming images online, there would be no actual copy on their computer, so they would not technically be in possession.”
He replied: “It would be for the courts to interpret the meaning of possession. We would proceed on the basis that there should be no such loophole.”
no such loophole, ну да. а фигли. до сих пор, кстати, все еще нет 100%-ного покрытия — жалкие 5% сбивают всю отчетность. так что горизонты перед цензорами великолепные. а и в самом деле ведь, отчего сидят без дела? не всем же в Австралию.
ну, и заодно о музыке, в том же ключе:
Irish internet users are to be blocked from accessing music swapping websites, as internet service providers bow to pressure from the music industry. Eircom, the country’s biggest internet provider, is to start blocking its internet customers from accessing music swapping.
Irish Recorded Music Association has identified Pirate Bay, the world’s biggest file swapping website, as the first site that it will seek to have blocked. It will then move on to ‘‘similar websites’’.
дооброе утро.
