Rival ISPs Team Up in Court To Fight Pirate Bay Block

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

After failing to shut down The Pirate Bay, the movie industry in The Netherlands has been trying to find other ways of limiting access to the site. Earlier they began threatening an ISP with court action unless it blocked access to the site. Now one of the ISP’s rivals is joining the fight against anti-piracy group BREIN in the hope of avoiding an undemocratic precedent.

According to information received by TorrentFreak, they are now taking action to force an ISP to start blocking the site.
