So we have here in Ireland essentially the first case of an ISP caving into a music industry heavy. IRMA, the Irish Recorded Music Association, has managed to find a friend in Ireland's largest telecommunications and ISP, Eircom. Eircom have vowed not to challenge any court attempts to have websites blocked which IRMA say are promoting music piracy.
This is essentially censorship, and is an inane solutions which will not work in the longterm but will set a precedent in modern Ireland for denying the inherent freedom of the internet.
