Piracy Police Chief Calls For State Interference to Stop Internet Anarchy
Found on Torrent Freak on Monday, 29 September 2014
The unit uses a wide range of strategies, from writing to domain registrars and threatening them, to working with advertisers in order to cut off revenues from ‘pirate’ sites.
The Police chief believes that tighter rules may be needed to prevent people from breaking the law in the future. This could mean that not everyone is allowed to launch a website, but that a license would be required, for example.
He should move to China; clearly the "police" there has the same mindset as this one. The Internet is a free place, and anybody can set up a website, even without the permission of some pseudo police force who is funded by the entertainment industry. A police force who should listen to its own advice and stick to the rules, instead of threatening registrars without having any jurisdiction. They are nothing but the lap dogs of some private companies who funnel money into the unit.
