The Spanish government has introduced a severe new anti-P2P bill, the details of which are inciting active debate.


"The bill has upset people on both sides of the debate over file-sharing, with copyright owners calling it insufficient and Internet companies denouncing it as heavy-handed," writes the NYT's Eric Pfanner. "The proposal, detailed this week, calls for the creation of a government-sponsored commission with the power to investigate and shut down Web sites accused of being a conduit for piracy."


"Needless to say, this has originated a huge response by Internet users, Human Rights activists, journalists, and bloggers, who have signed a manifesto against it," writes Gizmodo's Jesus Diaz.


"Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, however, said Thursday that no websites or blogs would be shut down," according to Monsters and Critics.
