Italian Court Rules ISPs Must Block Access To Pirate Bay

Posted by timothy on from the triremes-on-patrol dept.

introt writes "After first being blocked in 2008, an Italian court has once again ruled that ISPs in the nation must block access to the infamous torrent tracker The Pirate Bay, leaving millions of users without access to one of the most popular sites on the planet. In the original case, after an appeal by the Pirate Bay, the Court of Bergamo ruled that foreign websites cannot be blocked over alleged copyright infringement. Fast forward until today and the Supreme Court has ruled that ISPs can indeed be forced to block torrent sites, even if they are foreign-based."

    That made no sense at all. Did you mean "Like patching the whores in a screen"?

    Maybe me meant: "Like patting a whore with a screen."?
