'Earlier the government removed its proposed clause 18, which could have given it
sweeping powers to block sites, but replaced it with an amendment to clause 8 of the
bill. The new clause allows the secretary of state for business to order the blocking of
"a location on the internet which the court is satisfied has been, is being or is
likely to be used for or in connection with an activity that infringes copyright".'
It's goodbye to youtube then.
bad example I suspect, Youtube are quite responsive to copyright
infringement claims - two video I just tried to watch "aren't available
in your country" and a number with infringing sound tracks have the
sound track replaced by youtube.
