[AusNOG] Internet companies forced to block The Pirate Bay, bittorrent websites in Australia, Federal Court rules

[Daniel Mills]

I agree James, it will cause customers (if the DNS option is chosen by the ISPs) to use opendns or google or any number of other services which renders the legitimate reasons for dns poisoning such as local caches of content on google or Akamai mirrors etc which will then cost the ISP more in terms of usage of international transit instead of using peering paths.

I am not saying we should support any potential copyright infringements, but this isn’t the way to stop it either. The $50 is a once of and I can see much more cost being worn of the ISP far higher than this value.

Not a fun week to be in the ISP world.

Under the ruling, copyright holders will have to pay $50 to internet companies for every domain blocked.  <-- I wonder if this is a per month charge… or is this chargeable teach time a DNS Server is deployed  / re configured.

Once the sites are blocked, people who continue to visit the blocked sites will see a warning page informing them the site cannot be accessed.

The "landing page" as it is referred to, will be hosted by either the ISP or the rights holder.  <-- What a nice attack target that will be for kids on Holidays who can not download…

So where is the official piece of paper….  And how will this stop users from using 8.8.8.8 for DNS.

Again another pointless exercise.

Kindest Regards
