Well OK, OFCOM might get a Court order to instruct the large ISPs to block access to my site - but see how well that worked in the case of, say 'The Pirate Bay', blocked by Court order so completely impossible to access in the UK - you think?

Politicians have said that various methods would be used to circumvent this tactic eg forbidding UK hosts from hosting such sites, forbidding British advertisers or ad agencies from supplying them with ad revenue/services, a way to starve them to death if you like.
