"Verified" Infringing Websites To Appear On New Cartel Backed Blacklist

[GhostShip]

It seems in return for "allowing" folks to rip their own CD's legally "soon", the copyright maximalist lobby are out in force to try to weight the scales in their favour again with the backing of a private police force.

An initiative that hopes to cut off advertising revenues from websites offering illegal copyrighted material has been launched. It will see the creation of an online database of websites "verified" as being illegal.

The Infringing Website List (IWL) will be an "up-to-date list of copyright infringing sites" that can be cross-referenced by those third parties, in the hope that they will pull their advertising from those sites. "If an advert from an established brand appears on an infringing website not only does it lend the site a look of legitimacy, but inadvertently the brand and advertiser are funding online crime," said Detective Chief Inspector Andy Fyfe from the City of London Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit

The old favourite scare tactics are being trotted out again it seems, terrorists and master-criminals are making tons of advertising money by operating "illegal" websites 

What are these privately funded police officers smoking ?

It seems more and more to me that the people of GB should do a rather disturbing and incorrect uprising against their own country.

Much like the current US did back in the day. Britain is losing its own identidy and becoming a 'soviet state' imo.

MAYBE, it is time to get rid of the current government and put QE in total control.

She, for one, seems to have some common sense.

William would also work well.

pfft at this entire BS idea of democracy run wild.

Nothing ever done by committee has ever worked for the past 4.5 billion years, it doesnt work now, and it will not work in the future.

Ima 'psycho' 'gun crazed' american but whatever.

The rest of the world is very quickly turning into Nazi Germany.

Even the US is well along on that pathway, but, ffs, not as bad nor as quickly as the rest are.

Americans can be rather 'difficult' and they luv there guns.  lol

I could go on and on, but im sure you know what I mean about the collapse of GB.
