Summary:
Netherlands begins enforcing historical Net Neutrality Law.

The next day, court pulls rug out: IPs ordered to block access to The Pirate Bay.

Group claiming to be Anonymous attacks Virgin for blocking The Pirate Bay as ordered.

Pirate Bay calls attacks against Virgin censorship.

Meanwhile, Pirates looking beyond Earth to assume legal activity.

Also Meanwhile, HBO's Game of Thrones on track to become most pirated show of ALL time (HBO is not making it available online to most people in the world.)

But Avengers breaks records, sells $200M despite early bit torrent release.

China researchers making headway with teleporting information far distances without the need to travel through the distance, useful for encryption (and for horses)

With 3D printers gaining momentum, lawyers and judges will be freaking out (making a lot $) over copyright laws surrounding physical materials.

World could eat itself.
