Shooting the messenger

I noted today on via TechCrunch that a Belgian court has just ruled that ISP’s are responsible for preventing illegal filesharing by their users.

Similar to me attacking the postman for putting a bill through my door I guess, but as its based on EU legislation I’ve no doubt it’ll be winging its way over to the UK sooner or later.

So ISP legal and infrastructure costs will go up as they move to try and enforce this and broadband prices will shoot as a result. Yay!
