EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

We know the proposed net filters aren't going to stretch to p2p traffic but maybe the Government can just rely on lawmaking instead.

Consider the aftermath of Swedish net traffic after laws were introduced that enable copyright holders to identify suspected powers from their IP addresses.

Pretty stunning that throughput in the country's main internet exchange is down by half since the laws went through. Coincidence...?
