Yes, this has alrady spread to a number of European countries: http://circamp.eu/ > And once you get these things in place you never know where it will end... Unfortunately, yes. We already have a pretty ugly example of that: Telenor (Norwegian ISP) was sued by the music and film industry with a demand that Telenor should block all access to The Pirate Bay. The suggested method was abusing this DNS filter to block access to a number of Pirate Bay domains. Luckily the Norwegian court system do sometimes work: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS401576177920091106 But history usually repeats itself, so I assume this idea will come up again. And again. And again. Bjørn
