The City of London police have continued to take their bull-in-a-china-shop approach to „stopping piracy“ (generally based on a near total misunderstanding of the internet) to it‘s next level of ridiculousness. The police (which, yes, no need to remind us, represent a square mile in the middle of wider London, though, yes, it covers many big London businesses and financial firms) appear to have bought into Hollywood‘s fable about „piracy“ being the equivalent of „theft“ and not being even remotely concerned about the possibility of collateral damage. Back in April, we noted that the City of London Police had been creating a „blacklist“ for advertisers of „bad“ sites. And, now it‘s been revealed that advertisers are supposed to insert a ridiculous City of London advertisement on those websites in place of other ads.
