Where is the European solidarity, if EU is forced to change laws..? I think no country should have an influence on the domestic affairs of another country, so should EU do its own thing regardless of what other countries are doing.

Look at Sweden and thepiratebay, Sweden is a member of the EU and thepiratebay is still operating despite numerous warnings, etc. from firms. So why the heck aren’t they arested by the Interpol on behalf of the American companies?! I’m not an expert on this, but I suppose there are some restrictions of Interpol You missed.

And have you never heard of blocking access to the site? Seems that China has done pretty well in doing this and good old Canada has also blocked access to sites in Europe and Russia so any iSP doing business in Canada cannot allow their people to access the blocked sites forcing the people to go the long way round to get to them.

You people in Europe had better wake up and join the rest of us in the real world as just because you live in Europe, does not mean that a company in another country cannot use Interpol to reach out and “touch” you.

Oh and one more thing, what happens if the RIAA and MPAA sue in the World court and win? Then your vaunted “laws” wont mean squat as your countries would have to chage them or face sanctions. Or they sue in your European Court/Tribunal and win? As members of the EU you are now FORCED to change your laws unless you want to break away and the chances of that happening so you can download stuff is infinity to one against it happening.

You really should use your head for something besides a wind break and a hat rest.

Anyhow, it’s nice to live in EU and to be able have this advanced technology soon

I got the feeling that for the first time EU is doing something good for it’s citizens – or at least something good that might affect me.

Hah, they’re at the other side of the ocean, let them come.
