High Court Orders UK ISPs To Block More Torrent Sites

Posted by Unknown on Thursday February 28, 2013 @08:11AM from the coming-to-an-america-near-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from TorrentFreak: "The website blocking phenomenon has continued today in the UK, with the High Court adding three major torrent sites to the country's unofficial ban list. Following complaints from the music industry led by the BPI, the Court ordered the UK's leading Internet service providers to begin censoring subscriber access to Kickass Torrents, H33T and Fenopy." Unlike when the Pirate Bay was blocked, none of the ISPs contested this. They did, however, refuse to block things without a court order. Looks like the flood gates have been opened. On the topic of filesharing, Japan arrested 27 file sharers, using the recent changes to their copyright law that allow criminal charges to be brought against file sharers.

If you like humping your mommy
And getting caught by your dad
If you're not into poota
If you have half a tes'ticle
If you'd like humping butts at midnight
In the smooth anal gape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and assrape.
