ISP Refuses To Block the Pirate Bay

asto21 writes "Previously, representatives from the Finnish music industry filed a lawsuit against Elisa, one of the country's largest ISPs, demanding that it should block subscriber access to The Pirate Bay. In a reply filed at the district court, Elisa has refused to comply, describing the blocking demands as unreasonable."

Exactly the same thing happened in Holland

[dingen]

Dutch music & movie trade association BREIN won a lawsuit against The Piratebay in 2009 (it was covered onSlashdot). When it became clear The Piratebay wouldn't actively block Dutch users, BREIN started to sue Dutch ISP's, but none of them caved. Now, two years later, The Piratebay is still available through all Dutch ISP's, despite all of the lawsuits.
