The Pirate Bay faces UK net block

Notorious filesharing web site The Pirate Bay could face being blocked by British ISPs following a high court ruling that the site went "far beyond merely enabling or assisting" piracy.
Legal action has been brought against the major British ISPs Sky and BT by the British Phonographic Industry representing the major music labels. The BPI is seeking a court order to block access to the web site.
Major ISPs have consistently opposed efforts to block access to web sites, arguing that this sets a dangerous precedence with companies being able to block access to any site. Yet the courts have so far sided with the copyright holders, forcing BT and TalkTalk to use the parental content filtering system to block access to Newzbin2.
The Pirate Bay has proved to be remarkably resilient to wider efforts to shut down the site itself and in later years has been subject to a number of legal efforts across Europe to block access to the site.
