IFPI: ISPs Should Block BitTorrent and The Pirate Bay | TorrentFreak
IFPI Wants ISPs to Filter Content, P2P Programs, and Websites

Quote:

The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is trying to convince European lawmakers that ISPs should take extreme measures to fight piracy. They suggest that ISPs should block access to websites such as The Pirate Bay, and block filesharing protocols, no matter what they’re being used for.

The IFPI - the anti-piracy organization that represents the recording industry worldwide - sees ISPs as one of their biggest enemies. “ISPs often advertise music as a benefit of signing up to their service, but facilitate the illegal swapping of copyright infringing music on a grand scale,” they said previously. In an attempt to restrict the Internet, the anti-pirates have sent a list of three absurd recommendations to the EU parliament.

They should filter their own stupidity first.
But wait... that way the IFPI and their friends would cease to exist.

Hell the porn industry has probably taken a bigger profit hit than the music and movie industries together. Surprised they haven't been lobbying more before.

They are the international equivalent of the RIAA. And they have A LOT of lobbying power in the EU.

The sheer magnitude of information they would have to filter is enormous. Is such a project even possible?

Would be quite easy thanks to hardware like SandVine designed here in the US. Its actually what Comcast and and many ISPs are using to block bittorent and packet shape.
