O governo francês começou a caça aos downloads ilegais, com listas de IPs pessoas fornecidos pelas sociedades de gestão, responsáveis pela execução da lei "anti-downloads".
Os provedores recebem a lista com os IPs e devem identificar o titular. O titular recebe primeiro uma advertência. Em segundo, outra advertência. Em terceiro, será multado e terá a conexão cortada.
Os provedores são obrigados a identificar os IPs listados, do contrário, também serão multados.
Isso já aconteceu/acontece nos EUA - no caso da RIAA, associação das gravadoras - e pode muito bem acontecer aqui no Brasil também, na forma de censura online.
No caso do Brasil, há um projeto de lei em trâmite no Senado para cadastro de blogs e sites semelhantes, sob autoria do Deputado Federal Gerson Peres.
O projeto pode ser baixado (!) aqui:

Algumas considerações:
O futuro não parece muito empolgante mas sempre há soluções. Uma delas, já testada alguns anos atrás, falhou - estou falando de data center, ou data haven. A HavenCo foi fundada no ano 2000 e em 2008, deixou de existir. A HavenCo operava do Principado de Sealand, independente mas localizado na Inglaterra.
Outro exemplo, mais prático e bem-sucedido é a Freenet, que é uma data store descentralizada e resistente à ditadura.
Será que no futuro não muito distante teremos que fazer uso desses meios?
Um data center/haven offshore independente seria a nossa solução?
Exemplo prático:

Google - Fuck You
Yes, my AdSense account was just disabled.
So, Google, fuck you hard in the ass.
Here´s the email they just sent me:
"Hello,
After reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account
poses a risk of generating invalid activity. Because we have a
responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due
to invalid activity, we've found it necessary to disable your AdSense
account. Your outstanding balance and Google's share of the revenue will
both be fully refunded to the affected advertisers.
What about MY fucking refund? I had money there that i could use, thanks very fucking much!
Please understand that we need to take such steps to maintain the
effectiveness of Google's advertising system, particularly the
advertiser-publisher relationship. We understand the inconvenience that
this may cause you, and we thank you in advance for your understanding and
cooperation."
So, fuck you. Hard.

Google and Verizon vs Net Neutrality
Full report on:
http://gizmodo.com/5605310/google-just-killed-net-neutrality
Quote:
"It's notable that the Google denial says very specifically that Google has not had discussions about paying for carriage of Google and YouTube. But that doesn't mean they haven't spoken with Verizon about creating a framework that would undermine net neutrality generally."
Here´s hoping this turns out to be false but after the NYTimes first reporting and the Comcast vs FCC case (which Comcast won), i am affraid. Affraid this might get under the slips and not receive world wide attention, for crying out loud.
