Records Labels Prepare Massive 'Pirate Site' Domain Blocking Blitz

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday May 15, 2013 @07:30AM from the fighting-a-corner-of-the-internet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In their ongoing battle against websites said to infringe music copyrights, record labels have initiated a fresh wave of actions aimed at forcing UK ISPs to carry out domain blocking. This third wave is set to be the biggest so far, affecting as many as 25 domains and including some of the world's largest torrent sites and file-hosting search engines. Furthermore, the BPI – the entity coordinating the action – will ask courts to block U.S.-based music streaming operation, Grooveshark."
