    An organisation in Ireland wants to establish the "internet as a basic human right" as law.

    It follows a decision this week to stop ISPs using filtering technology. The ruling was made by top and well respected judge Pedro Cruz Villalón, Advocate General to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), who ruled that Belgian ISP Scarlet should filter out copyright-infringing content from its network.
