Good news from Europe: your ISP can't be forced to monitor or block you from using the Web. A European court has ruled that record labels and film studios can't use the courts to instruct your broadband company to track you or try to block you.
"EU law precludes the imposition of an injunction by a national court which requires an Internet service provider to install a filtering system with a view to preventing the illegal downloading of files," the European Court of Justice ruled.
Record labels, film studios and other owners of copyrighted music, movies or media have in recent years tried to steer government and courts towards making ISPs responsible for piracy. They argue that ISPs should keep an eye on what you're doing online, and if they spot you illegally accessing copyrighted material, courts should order your ISP to boot you off the Internet.
