It sounds like they are also preparing an attack on VPNs and DNS:
> Arcom recognizes a need to “facilitate the actions of intermediaries” by maintaining an up-to-date list of pirate sites and services subject to blocking and improving the system so that new services can be added to boost effectiveness. It’s hoped that sharing the list with third parties will encourage a broader range of intermediaries to engage in the process voluntarily.
> “Alternative DNS providers and VPNs, whose misuse for illicit purposes affects 66% of illicit consumers, are key partners. Beyond these players, the entire digital ecosystem must be involved in the fight against piracy: hosting providers, content delivery networks (CDNs), and online stores,” Arcom notes.
> If intermediaries fail to comply with their legal obligations, granting Arcom “coercive power” would “strengthen the authority’s credibility in the digital space,” the regulator notes.
