Quote:File-sharing site The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK internet service providers, the High Court has ruled.

The Swedish website hosts links to download mostly pirated free music and video.

Sky, Everything Everywhere, TalkTalk, O2 and Virgin Media must all prevent their users from accessing the site.

"Sites like The Pirate Bay destroy jobs in the UK and undermine investment in new British artists," the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) said.

A sixth ISP, BT, requested "a few more weeks" to consider their position on blocking the site.

BPI's chief executive Geoff Taylor said: "The High Court has confirmed that The Pirate Bay infringes copyright on a massive scale.

"Its operators line their pockets by commercially exploiting music and other creative works without paying a penny to the people who created them.

"This is wrong - musicians, sound engineers and video editors deserve to be paid for their work just like everyone else."
'Compelling alternatives'

In November 2011, the BPI asked the group of ISPs to voluntarily block access to the site.

The request followed a court order to block Newzbin 2, a site also offering links to download pirated material.

The ISPs said they would not block the site unless a court order was made, as is now the case.

Virgin Media told the BBC it will now comply with the request, but warned such measures are, in the long term, only part of the solution.

"As a responsible ISP, Virgin Media complies with court orders addressed to the company but strongly believes that changing consumer behaviour to tackle copyright infringement also needs compelling legal alternatives, such as our agreement with Spotify, to give consumers access to great content at the right price."

Sounds like a DNS block, which means it's easy to bypass (you may already be doing it) but expect more "attacks" on the DNS system over there.

ohh i see , now they making calling efect ?!!!
i never used TPB , i think i will put an eye on it now.

I'm indifferent about my feelings towards the TPB.  I guess that sucks for the UK?

I rarely use TPB.  Only use it as a last resort if I can't find what I'm looking for somewhere else.

i use TPB very often,.. and if i like the movie,. i am talking really really like the movie,. i will buy the movie,. also counts for other stuff,..

FUCK DAMN IT!!!

Hang on... My ISP's not in the list of ones that are gonna ban TPB.

Quote:Last week the UK High Court ruled that several of the country’s leading ISPs must block subscriber access to The Pirate Bay. The decision is designed to limit traffic to the world’s leading BitTorrent site but in the short-term it had the opposite effect. Yesterday, The Pirate Bay had 12 million more visitors than it has ever had, providing a golden opportunity to educate users on how to circumvent blocks. “Wee should write a thank you letter to the BPI,” a site insider told TorrentFreak.

Hahaha, the internet strikes again!
