New submitter swinferno writes "After recent successes in Finland, Italy and Belgium, the Dutch Copyright protection organization BREIN has obtained a verdict that forces two major ISPs to block access to The Pirate Bay domains and gives them the right to submit future domains/IP addresses to be blocked in the future without court order."

    Oh please, our spines are fine you'll find. But even though our politicians stand nice and straight, they are no less crooked than their American counter parts.

    Please give a single example of a copyright violation by "The Pirate Bay". Oh wait, you can't. You want to get into the whole argument of "facilitating copyright violation" then you might as well sue network, computer and storage equipment manufacturers, not to mention anyone who ever built and sold a set of speakers.

    Ahh, so you've read the RIAA's roadmap for 2012 then?

    It's even in the capital for short walking distance to transport the bribe.
