Disconnection!
Web blocking!
Death of open wifi!
Anyone can apply for an Injunction
Against an ISP.
To have any site they allege
Hosts or links to their copyright content.
They notify the ISP and
Ask for the site to be blocked,
Without the injunction.
If the ISP does not immedately comply
They can be taken to court
And the ISP must pay all costs.
Here's the thing in more detail - from a commenter to the Guardian
The Bill as currently drafted (specifically clause 18) allows anyone to apply for an injunction (in the High Court) against an ISP to have any site that they allege hosts, or links [ subsection 2(a)] to content they claim is copyrighted by them.
However, before they go to Court, they are expected to notify the ISP of the content and ask that they block it without the injunction [subsections 2(b),(c)]. If the ISP does not immediately comply, they can be taken to court when the ISP is required to pay all costs [subsection (4)].
