Mike Masnick, TechDirt; Will Three Strikes Ever Really Get Implemented In The UK?:
"With Peter Mandelson announcing this week (as everyone expected) that he's going to introduce a proposal to kick file sharers off the internet under a "three strikes" plan, it's been amusing watching defenders of this idea try and fail to answer the question "how will this make people buy more stuff." ...
But, perhaps an even bigger question is whether or not it will ever actually get implemented in the UK."

Judge says BU can't turn over infringers' IPs in P2P case, ARS Technica, 11/26/08
Via ARS Technica: Judge says BU can't turn over infringers' IPs in P2P case:
"The music industry's requests for more personal information regarding the identity of several accused file-sharers have been shot down by a federal judge. Judge Nancy Gertner quashed a subpoena this week in the infamous London-Sire v. Does 1-4 case, saying that the IP addresses of three anonymous Boston University students could not be handed over because the university had "adequately demonstrated that it is not able to identify the alleged infringers with a reasonable degree of technical certainty."
The legal system has been chipping away at the London-Sire case all year, starting this spring when Judge Gertner said that making files available on a P2P network does not equal copyright infringement."
