		<description>Crazy bill...It&#039;s like making the highway agency responsible for thieves using the roads. There are better ways to tackle piracy, none of which seem to have been considered.

For example, force search engines NOT to post links to torrent sites (they are accessories as things stand -- moreso than ISPs who provide a service but search engines exist to make profits only and do so by signposting goods: Boys, you want easy pickings? Go here!). MOST users haven&#039;t a clue where to download illegal software, music, videos, etc. They rely on search engines.

Make hosts and ISPs search for illegal goods on their servers (robots can do it) and enforce their policies of not including material that doesn&#039;t belong to a user by banning the user (legal ground work already is in place: you signed NOT to include copyrighted material in your webspace).

Force domain name providers to take down domains that host torrent sites (everyone knows they exist for only one purpose: distribute property that doesn&#039;t belong to them). Again, they can employ robots to find sites. This way, it doesn&#039;t matter pirates host sites abroad in order to avoid the law. You just cut off the domain (the gateway). No domain, no publicly accessible website.

Honestly, with all the consultations, etc, research, wasted public money, they still cannot see what&#039;s under their nose.</description>
