However, the inverse is being pushed through congress (mostly by<br>
Republican Senators). The inappropriately named &quot;Internet freedom act&quot;<br>
[S.1836] would prohibit the FCC from proposing regulations on ISPs to<br>
/not/ favor one type or source of traffic over another. The law must be<br>
upheld, and the FCC is making that clear: illicit activity (like willful<br>
copyright infringement) must not be sanctioned.<br>

&gt;                     Does the treaty of Lisbon have any effect on this?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 For the UK in particular, the EU at large has meant a<br>
&gt;                 massive influx of legislation. Up until the early 1990s<br>
&gt;                 the UK government passed about 18 legislative acts per<br>
&gt;                 year, after 1997 more than a thousand.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 But this is because of the clash between<br>
&gt;                 Napoleonic/Germanic law and the Common Law systems:<br>
&gt;                 Common Law is based on case law, whereas the rest of<br>
&gt;                 Europe relies on legislative acts (that  are of course<br>
&gt;                 also interpreted in case law).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 The Lisbon Treaty will likely force the UK to continue<br>
&gt;                 passing legislative acts, unless they give directives<br>
&gt;                 direct effect (presumably) in UK courts. However,<br>
&gt;                 legislative acts aren&#39;t necessarily a bad thing: for<br>
&gt;                 one, it is easier for me as a citizen to look of the<br>
&gt;                 state regulations on sewers than try to locate<br>
&gt;                 sewer-related case law in the official journal of the<br>
&gt;                 high court.<br>
