This law was going to really be a headache for any Europeans who download a lot of boxing, movies, games and music via bittorrent and P2P.

They wanted to force ISP's to monitor usage and band users who who were filsharing

Thankfully they narrowly lost out in the vote so we can carry on with our digital thefts in relative comfort for now
That is GREAT news.. My whole life is downloading entertainment from the internet.. I'm not entirely against buying the things I enjoy watching,,, but it saves time just hitting download and forgetting about it. We are behind the rest of the world in regards to air dates.. I'm not always home when my tv shows are on. It just makes life easier...
Especially for actual content that is either very hard to find in stores, impossible, or very expensive.

I think the government should figure out a way they can make revenue from it like they do with cigarettes, petrol, alcohol, and gambling,,, then their is absolutley NO risk of them EVER making a law against it!
