Liz our other plea to the court was for the copyright board to develop a policy on digital piracy. That am told is now on-going.
Btw we went to court after being ignored by the major mobile ISPs.

While I also support your cause against digital piracy, I am more concerned with the approach you you're going to take.
Have you considered putting in place appeal mechanisms for unfair blocking?
Will the ISP have the full responsibility to police internet content? How can we ensure transparency in this course?

Sir, while your cause is a noble one it is my opinion that the approach taken to counter digital piracy is wrong.
Empirical evidence would suggest that measures such as ISP imposed blocks, domain takedowns and the threat of massive fines have failed in mature markets.
As a country we can do better than this and find a solution that works for the copyright holders without restricting the consumers' freedom to access the Internet.
