EU copyright policy smacks of censorship, argue critics
In the summer of 2009, EU telecoms ministers and the European Parliament were embroiled in a row over the EU's telecoms package and how it should treat illegal downloading. EU ministers were in favour of a more hardline law, like the 'three strikes and you're out' approach, while MEPs fought to water down sanctions for fear that people downloading content for non-commercial purposes would receive the same punishment as criminal gangs <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

La guerre des Internets a commencé
En février dernier, un groupe de députés européens baptisé LEWP (Law Enforcement Working Party) a commencé à travailler en secret sur un projet de loi [PDF] dont l'objectif est de mettre en place un grand firewall européen . Soutenus par les lobbies américains, ce projet de loi aura pour but d' exclure d'Europe certains sites internet considérés comme illégaux. Tous les FAI devront alors se plier à cette loi et appliquer ce filtrage Européen.The Pirate Bay déclare la guerre des Internets en Europe
L'Union européenne va-t-elle se doter elle aussi d'une sorte de grande muraille numérique, à l'image de celle ceinturant et censurant l'Internet en Chine ?

Alarm over EU 'Great Firewall' proposal
Europe's 'single secure cyberspace' plan under attack
IDG News Service - European Union plans to "create a single secure cyberspace" have come under fire from civil liberties groups, with many saying that they only serve to highlight how far the bloc still has to go in understanding the modern online world. In February, at a secret meeting of the Council of the European Union's Law Enforcement Work Party (LEWP), politicians discussed plans to create a "virtual Schengen border" (the Schengen area is the common passport area within the E.U.) with ISPs required to block "illicit content" from outside the area. The Council of the European Union is the E.U.'
I suppose it was only a matter of time before the EUSSR got around to considering this one : Broadband providers have voiced alarm over an EU proposal to create a “Great Firewall of Europe” by blocking “illicit” web material at the borders of the bloc.
The Great (fire)Wall of Europe. | The Waspsnest
I am staggered by the cluelessness of some politicians [. pdf ]: The Presidency of the LEWP [Law Enforcement Working Party] presented its intention to propose concrete measures towards creating a single secure European cyberspace with a certain "virtual Schengen border" and "virtual access points" whereby the Internet Service Providers (ISP) would block illicit contents on the basis of the EU "black-list".
