MPA presses for VPNs to have a role in anti-piracy row in Europe

So the cat and mouse game continues. I wonder what France and Italy gain from blocking though.

Also, I fully agree with this:

" The VPN industry, however, warns that this creates "a dangerous precedent," which could have a chilling effect on all the people using these services to protect their privacy and security."

- The Motion Picture Association (MPA) is pressing for VPN providers, proxies, and Content Delivery Systems to cooperate with anti-piracy measures

- The MPA also urges the EU to adopt an automated system that can block pirated content in real-time, without the need for court approval.

- Italy and France have already begun forcing some VPN and DNS services to block access to illegal streaming sites
