Spain cracks down on file sharing

It's a sad day for Spanish content pirates, as formerly lax laws
allowing P2P file sharing for personal use have just been overturned in
favor of strict new rules that make file swappers financially liable for
any unauthorized downloading they partake in[...]also hold ISPs
accountable for the P2P activity of their customers, which could be seen
as an incentive for service providers to block what they consider
suspicious traffic. [...] a small tax will now be levied on all blank
media to reimburse copyright holders for earnings lost to piracy[...]
