The City of London police has started placing banner advertisements on websites believed to be offering pirated content illegally.

When a website on Pipcu's Infringing Websites List (IWL) tries to display an advert, Project Sunblock will instead serve the police warning.

London Police tries to be World Police with all the money they receive from the entertainment industry. It's pretty disturbing that companies can buy legal powers to meddle with "websites believed to be offering pirated content". Anyway, maybe someone should tell LoPo about ablockers which turn out to be a blow to their "Operation Creative" (who comes up with those names?).
