Belgian ISP Tries, Fails To Filter Piracy – Court ruling overturned; Audible Magic did not work.

From Australia to the United States, the entertainment industry is waging a public relations and lobbying war in an effort to force ISPs to become piracy nannies, forever tasked with scanning their networks for traders of bootleg 80′s Knight Rider episodes, then terminating the accounts of Hasselhoff-loving offenders everywhere. Last year we noted that a Belgian ISP named Scarlet was ordered to block illegal p2p transfers on their network by a Belgian Judge, a decision applauded by the entertainment industry at the time — but a task the ISP found impossible to actually accomplish. The ISP has seen the original decision reversed, after they were able to show that one of the more popular filtering systems, Audible Magic (which we’ve been talking about for years), simply did not work.
