Switzerland Urges U.S. to Remove it From its ‘Pirate Watchlist’ - TorrentFreak

On April 1st, Switzerland's new copyright law will go into effect. The new legislation incorporates many recommendations from copyright holders, including a “stay-down” provision. Not all wishes were granted, however, as site-blocking is off-limits and downloading will remain legal. The country hopes that the changes will nonetheless warrant a removal from the U.S. pirate watchlist.
