There are a million and one proxies for Pirate Bay that are accessible in the UK. As far as I know none of these have been shut down by authorities since TPB itself was banned in the country. So if we assume the same model here then chances are proxy sites will be left alone.
 
Nothing to say the BPI/government (more or less the same thing now) might not change tack of course.

This time's a bit different though. Not only are we talking about double the resolution again (so an exponential increase), the frame rate has to go up too, else you get screen tearing. When HD first came out, it didn't stretch the current limits of hard drive technology, nor was it really a massive leap for PC monitors to meet the new resolution.
 
Yes the market will adapt, but the chances of it happening as fast as it did for 1080p are extremely low. 4K is going to be the next big thing for quite a while yet.

It's the same everywhere really. Not a single snowflake can fall on Greater London without half the British press running a story about it, meanwhile in the North of England and Scotland, it could be 10 feet of snow and the media wouldn't even blink an eye. It's all about perspective, and the world experience of a journalist stuck working in a dingy skyscraper all day is very limited.
