Singapore ISPs Block 53 Pirate Sites Following MPAA Legal Action (torrentfreak.com)

53 piracy websites, including The Pirate Bay and KickassTorrents, have been blocked in Singapore following the most sweeping action taken by copyright holders in the country in more than a decade. From a report: A new wave of blocks announced this week are the country's most significant so far, with dozens of 'pirate' sites targeted following a successful application by the MPAA earlier this year. [...] "In Singapore, these sites are responsible for a major portion of copyright infringement of films and television shows," an MPAA spokesman told The Straits Times. "This action by rights ïowners is necessary to protectï the creative industry, enabling creators to create and keep their jobs, protect their works, and ensure the continued provision of high-quality content to audienceïsï."

I know that is how it is done in Belgium by court order. As explained here

This is still the case. If I use my providers DNS, I do get a message about the block. If I use 1.1.1.1 or my own DNS server, I do not get it. You can also try out one of the following https://www.lifewire.com/free-...
