So, in the bottom, this will restrain the freedom of speech?

I'm really just straight up flabergasted at proposal such as this. While I don't live in Europe I think we can all agree that we expect our representatives in any government to have at least an ounce of common sense.
Is there a way for those in other countries, such as state-side, to get in touch with these people and tell them what a HUGE mistake they are making?

have you guys ever considered how pissed off Google will be at this? This means their main source of income is gonna be sliced.
ou could say the news agencies are in on it or just aren't informed but google would break the news fast as fuck if they felt their business was being stomped down upon. This is a major internet corporation i mean laws like this would end their business. Seems a little far out.
In sweden MPAA wanted to push a law that would censor torrent sites for swedish IPs, but as of now i think it looks like it will be rejected.
there's lots of conspiracy theories out there

Package deals are really stupid.
Sky charges you for channels YOU GET FOR FREE! Freeview boxes give you extra channels like BBC news/Skynews/ITV2-4/skysports/CBBC and a few music channels, Freeview is built into most modern day TVs in preparation for the digital switchover.
Sky will still charge you for these channels, which I find really silly.
What I'm trying to say is simple. The internet if FREE(minus monthly charges). There is no point in charging us for something we get anyway. If this is about download limits. They need to improve their servers. We can't limit our internet use.
They need to meet consumer demands. The consumer should never meet the ISP's demands.

Chinese internets is hugely restricted, remember Tank Man?, yeah, in China you cant find shit on him.Utarefson said:
Well, I have no idea if this is true, but it sounds suspiciously like some kind of net neutrality (ISP can dictate what a person can see). It could be good for "spams" to become invisible. But it's not OK to force everyone into this scheme of internet. As long as there is a choice of "normal internet", I think it's OK. It's a slippery slope though.
If something like this does come up, it would be very interesting to make a service to bypass this website limit. I'm sure it will sell like hot cakes.
