There is no legislation here. CUII is a private organization that generates lists of domains that contain copyright violations. ISPs voluntarily choose to block those.

Voluntarily under threat of prosecution under existing legislation if they don't.
no, under threat of filing every single copyright claim against them, swamping their legal department.

Which is the correct way to do it (i.e. file a claim if you see someone violating copyright law). This just makes it easier for the ISPs

> no, under threat of filing every single copyright claim against them

A.k.a. prosecution under existing legislation.
