So they're not doing anything wrong, but they have to stop doing it? Well that still makes it sounds unduly critical of UPC and the ISPs. The courts are not coming down on the ISPs here, and if the ISPs had bothered defending this case, they would have had a strong case for doing nothing. So yes, the Court is saying that UPC (and others) are not necessarily doing anything illegal, but they are passively facilitating an offence, and they can be requested to take steps to stop facilitating that in specific circumstances - unless they can show this would be an unfair burden on them.
Which they didn't try to do. Vlad the Impaler, the real life Count Dracula, would display his power by leaving treasures such as jewels out in the open, in easy reach of any who dared take them. No one did, because he was Vlad the Impaler.

The slums will soon be a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and corncribs. Men will walk upright now, women will smile, and the children will laugh. Hell will be forever for rent. We have banned Pirate Bay, our artistes will return to a happier time when they did not have to slave over tour schedules, nor promote their wares against a sea of independent productions, we once again will return to the benevolent tyranny of the studio system and one album every three years will suffice to keep our Rock Gods in coke and hookers. Is it just me.or does anyone else get the impression that the people making these laws have no idea how the internet works, how torrents work, or how p2p downloading works? Because this block is ridiculously silly.

Not only will it not work, at all, it sets a horrible precedent of censorship. I'm a reasonable guy and I think that, in some cases, censorship.might. be okay.but blocking an entire country's access to a website because some rich US corporations might lose some sales is pretty horrible IMHO. I mean, ignoring that it won't work, at all, in the slightest. Also, its depressing that we're having this conversation.now.
Torrent'ing started in 01. Pirate Bay started in 03.Ten years later. we're banning access. Similarly, you've probably noticed those stupid warnings that companies are (by law) required to display. That again, shows how clueless our lawmakers are.
Cookies were introduced into web browsers in 1995. And you've always been able to disable them, at will, within your browser.
15+ years later, in order to protect us, they pass a law that makes websites mention that they are using cookies?!?! Even if they were dangerous, and even if you couldn't trivially disable them - where were they fifteen years ago? A group of 15 year-old kids who like computer games would be better equipped to make the decisions.
