Italian Court Rules ISPs Must Block Access To Pirate Bay
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."
Copyright's going away tomorrow. Thank goodness you mentioned it, because we were worried there was no way out.
We will immediately begin legalizing screwing people out of their fundamental right to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
I scream. You scream. I assume that means we're both acquainted with the problem. We proceed.
