Sorry I did the ignorant American thing. I thought there were a larger number of American members here...WRONG. I've been looking at people's profiles now and realising a large number of non-American member. So I apologize.
Even though this only affects the US/Canada/(mexico?) right now, this sets precedent; not judicial precedent but business precedent. This means it can jump the pond/border. If the ISPs here show this earns a profit, you can expect their foreign counter-parts to follow.
I understand that Globalization and the Internet are just 2 of the major factors that are drastically changing our business world. Theyre factors that go hand-in-hand, change something in one (the internet itself) and global business will follow.
This might only affect North America for now, but this is an important issue for everyone.
