Many sites were overzealously interpreting it.

The difficulty of compliance depends on both how big the size is and the kind of site it is. Many small site overlooked both of those factors.



Again if it has to be applied to Wikipedia there's nothing meaningful beyond a static informational site it wouldn't apply to.


The overzealous interpretations where not over whether or not it applied. They were over what the providers would have to do to comply. That depends greatly on the amount of traffic the site gets and the type of content that is on the site.


We don't yet know how OFCOM will categorize Wikipedia. This was a preemptive legal action.
