the law needs to hold ISP's and hosting companies responsible to some degree for piracy that takes place on their networks. but can I go sue a hosting company in the Netherlands which is one of the worst offending countries because they broke an American law? i don't think so.

I read an article today in the WSJ that the EU is taking a new look at piracy on the web- specifically music copyright. France seems to be particularly interested in seeing things change, complaining of all the $$$billions lost each year.
Google's response was hey lets try a technological solution before a bureaucratic gov't one- typical delay tactic.
Waiting anxiously to hear how GideonGallery will weigh in...
