The French Senate has passed a new anti-piracy bill that opens the door to automated IP-address blocking. This legislative push is bolstered by a parallel, "secret" agreement between sports rightsholders and major ISPs, which aims to automate anti-piracy efforts and streamline direct blocking requests. Rightsholders hope these new powers will help to tackle the "mafia-like" piracy economy.

I wonder how well that'll work against the 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 (that's the real number) ipv6 addresses.
