In general, look at what China is doing. Britain and Russia, too.
Britain is doing a lot less than you seem to think. The RIP act has been passed, but to a rising chorus of protests from all sides, including industry. Actual implementation of the bill will not occur for some time (1-2 years). In the meantime opponents of the bill are preparing their legal cases, arguing that the act is in violation of various European Union directives. At the practical level, UK ISPs have seen no change at all. -- Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net tel +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015
