Exactly the question. Does UK have an injunction process, where you can get a judge to order police to cease and desist enforcement of some infringement complaints, if enforcement is causing greater harm than good? It is essentially a civil/contractual dispute between copyright holders and individuals, better to let it happen and let copyright holders file lawsuits to recover for alleged damages if there are any at all. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
