"Psychoceramic kiln output". I like it. Hmmm... Very cool. However it
implies that the person who is attempting to move you out of the way of
danger, is frozen in place. Whereas in actual fact, the entire population at
the moment is more akin a Roo standing on the highway staring at an oncoming
convoy of trucks, spotlights blazing. And I'm trying to convince you to
move....

1. ACTA threaten to make ISPs liable for actions of users.
2. APN provides protection for ISPs from litigation when they have made
available a method of blocking said actions by users.
3. If the users don't take up blocking of copyright infringing sites, that's
not the ISPs fault. It's strictly between ACTA/Users.
4. Note that all the above protection disappears if you make the filtering
Mandatory. In that case, the ISP could well be back in the do do if he fails
to block the connection...

Just stating the facts Craig. I realise the sceptic in you will always
maintain that this is impossible. I only hope to get the chance one day to
convert you :) Alas and Alack though, that will take a lot more than mere
words, it will take actions. And supporters who actually count are few and
far between....
