And thus the censorship begins.

Longtime 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens is resigning. In an email to staff Owens cited an inability "to make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes."
"Over the past months, it has...become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it," Owens wrote. "To make independent decisions based on what was right I am stepping aside so the show can move forward."

Received an email by the #NANOG mailing list in which they raise a pretty concerning thing: Apparently, #Spain started to intercept or nullroute certain IP addresses of #CDN providers. The intent is to fight #piracy during #football matches.

Do the people who pass the list of IP addresses even understand the significance of blocking a bunch of #CDN networks of various providers? Seriously?! It #censors access to tens of thousands of legitimate #websites which is blatantly accepted as a #collateral to help out some shady sports association in their #copyright?

How much shadier can a decision be? Since this is a thing, maybe they can think about taking down entire regions in Spain the next football match?

The amount of collateral damage in the name of copyright is ridiculous. The #EuropeanUnion really has to step-up their game in addressing those concerning developments. I read about multiple such blatant decisions so far. Eyeing at you, #Quad9 and #Sony...
