The AFCI demands:
TPB Chief of staff states:
“ACFI has been working under cover for quite some time to get information on Ladonia and its government. We will support any action taken by ACFI against Ladonia in this matter!”
States the AFCI:
“Surrender to our demands or we will take your castle by force!“

An excellent read on the Tiscali vs. the BPI when they’re not trying to force UK ISP’s to do their dirty work.
It comments:
“BPI recently forced Tiscali to kill its Juke Box legal P2P streaming
music service. So it didn’t expect Tiscali to comply. The objective
instead was PR that incriminated ISPs as complicit with P2P users in
copyright infringement.”
With ZDNet remarking on the absurdety of the claim:
“We look forward to the BPI calling on British Airways to stop
holidaymakers flying back from Thailand because they might be carrying
cheap CDs.”
ZDNet’s comment on the action:
“The latest example of the group attempting to make time stand still
occurred this week when the BPI announced that, not content with taking
legal action against file-sharers itself, it thinks that ISPs should do
its questionable work for it.”
P2P File Sharing: “The Internet is not the music industry’s plaything”
The absurdity of the RIAA’s/BPI’s claims that ISP’s act an enforcers is simply a joke. The fact is we need to overhaul the copyright laws and add greater amounts protections for personal privacy. ISP’s are there to provide a sevrice of access NOT to act as law enforcer/judge/jury and executioner for the media cartels who are still under the misapprehension that they still control the media.
