I have the problem with this (sorry i must say) of
the swiss romande... The most blocking of pages are the same law on the blocking
page. I don't sure if a voud law could send this letter to an ISP in Zuerich...
Normaly the must write to the "Statsanwaltschaft Zürich" and they must send this
letter.
2nd Problem they have only written to the DSL
ISP... and Cablecom... Other Cable ISP musn't block it. In Switzerland we 1/3 of
the costumer has cable Internet... and 1/2 of this are not CC
Clients...
We habve GGA Maur Sasag, divers "Gemeindewerke",
WVZ, RKO Cablenetswiss etc.
With this letter this Networkes musn't block any
page... (I have looked the list on www.heisse.de)
This is for me a verry
big problematic.
I think when we are going this way. we are nearer
on china linke USA.
Greetings

I fully agree with this statement, reason why I was pointing
out that a lawyer opinion would be welcome.
I'm pretty sure that every
people reading this topic on SwiNOG is not sure that such a request is fully
supported by a law.
Now, I am not sure that some customers will
recourse because one website is blocked from a couple of ISPs. But even, it
remains an ethical question for the ISP to decide if they just carry bits and
bytes (as the Swiss post carry letters) without worrying what these bytes are
coding (as the Swiss post does; as of today they do not filter your mail to
drop invoices and ads for delivering only personal letters and
postcards).

Salut,
Yann,
In my opinion it is not clear so far whether or not
it is legal at all
for an ISP to block web sites. I think that blindly
doing so -
especially by a dubious court order - might give customers a
legal
right to recourse.
