That is clearly wrong. I do not support that and the consequences are dire if it happens.

However are you referring to this?

SEC. 104. IMMUNITY FOR TAKING VOLUNTARY ACTION AGAINST SITES DEDICATED TO THEFT OF U.S. PROPERTY.

No cause of action shall lie in any Federal or State court or administrative agency against, no person may rely in any claim or cause of action against, and no liability for damages to any person shall be granted against, a service provider, payment network provider, Internet advertising service, advertiser, Internet search engine, domain name registry, or domain name registrar for taking any action described in section 102(c)(2), section 103(d)(2), or section 103(b) with respect to an Internet site, or otherwise voluntarily blocking access to or ending financial affiliation with an Internet site, in the reasonable belief that--

(1) the Internet site is a foreign infringing site or is an Internet site dedicated to theft of U.S. property; and

(2) the action is consistent with the entity?s terms of service or other contractual rights.

We'll see.
I'll take your word on this as you've been getting away with it for years.

No, because I am not involved in piracy Paul.
Can you prove this? If not why are you so worried about all measures to curb piracy?

Is it wasting your time and money, will it cost you money?

A law against spamming people or a charge for every email sent, now that I would understand your opposition to. An increase in the laws against piracy, strengthening of existing laws, you have always been consistently against this. Can you see how you might be giving everyone the impression you support piracy? Not good self marketing, you should as a "marketing man, know how to twist the truth or lie.

Would new laws that stop dirty old men hanging round playgrounds with puppies bother you?
No, why should it?

The puppy in question now scares the life out of most people, including grown ups. Only a complete imbecile would think an eight month old Boxer would be a cute lovable puppy. If the cap fits, keep it on Damian.
