This effectively makes the entire internet illegal. I don't know enough about copyright law in England, but clearly the justice system is broken. Google, which is actually hosting the copyrighted content, is untouchable. Don't forget that Google's YouTube service only became more popular than rival video sites because of it's benefit-of-the-doubt copyright policy (which has only just recently been replaced by a content filtering system, now that it has become a high-profile target). They just have so much money that they have become above the law. Instead, the EU's version of the MAFIAA has backed a trade union, the Federation Against Copyright Theft, which did policework and created a case to arrest a man who led a community-based content sharing site. Copyright laws do not protect citizens, they prosecute them on behalf of rich copyright cartels.
There isn't much info about this right now, only a single brief article from the Guardian, but it's going to be really interesting to see what happens when more details emerge. Linking is Not A Crime! Free The 26 Year Old Man From Cheltenham!
