Sean Sherlock is a buffoon if he follows this through. no company should be able to dictate what is available on the internet. (as happened with Eircom) this is a major issue in the US presently and it appears the push on legislation fell flat on its face due to constitutional challenges.

Appears over here politicians are spineless. .... but we knew that already

No sh1t Sherlock !!

I wouldn't agree with the Green Party either normally, but in this case, they hit the nail on the head: http://www.greenparty.ie/news.html?n=12
