Belgian ISP can't stop file sharing

Filed in archive Internet by Jordan Grodecki on October 6, 2008

Recently, there has been increasing demand for ISPs to filter and block illegal filesharing by their users. Many forum-goers on the net have laughed at this idea, that it's utterly impossible to filter with such accuracy, and it seems they have been proved right. After being told by the courts that it had to block any illegal traffic in 2007, Belgian ISP Scarlet has now told them it is completely unfeasable.

They are seriously hoping the court takes this into account, as they are currenlty paying 2,500euros in compensation per day traffic goes unfiltered.

Utter madness.

sidenote: appologies for the lack of entries last week, have bad some internet troubles. All back now though.
