The italian courts seem to have told ISPs there to block ThePirateBay 
(bittorrent tracker), and this evening (CET) LLNW (AS22822) originated
88.80.6.0/24 via 6762 (telecom italia) to what I presume is most of 
Europe.

Basically same thing that happened when people tried to block YouTube a 
few months back (afghanistan?).

How do we hinder this in the short term? I know there are a lot of long 
term solutions that very few is implementing, but would the fact that 
these mistakes are brought up into the (lime)light by a public shaming 
list make ISPs shape up and perform less mistakes?

I am still waiting for a response from LLNW NOC on the issue.
