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?

Can't IANA give $100000 stupidity tax or revoke AS for people that do this?
