And does this web site blocking/cencorship from the corporate dictators (government) actually stop piracy? NO,
does it disrupt copyright infringement ? NO, because since sky sold customers details to that scumbag Andrew crossley ACS law the majority of those who regularly upload /download torrents use a VPN or another method of hiding their IP address
They can block what they like but they will never stop people sharing information, it's what the internet was designed for

All the big Broadband providers do this,virgin media,Sky,Orange,BT thats why i use independent ones

In reference to news.techeye.net/internet/british-isps-block-more-torrent-sites:

A high court order has spurred top ISPs to block three of the largest BitTorrent sites.

BT, Virgin Media, O2 and Be There have all stopped customers from accessing KickassTorrents, H33T and Fenopy after it was claimed in the courts they were facilitating copyright infringement.

The sites were allegedly raking in cash - with revenues estimated for KickassTorrents at around $12,525,469 and $22,383,918, according to an expert quoted in the verdict.

TorrentFreak reports that the High Court ordered six ISPs including BT, Sky, Virgin Media, O2, EE and TalkTalk to block subscriber access to the three torrent sites after the BPI stuck its oar in and moaned that they damaged legal music sales. This is despite evidence from the European Commission that pirates are actually avid content fiends who also pay for their films, TV shows, and music.

Yeah, I know. Point being is that instead of writing "Kick Ass Torrents" they wrote the altogether more rude "Kiss Ass Torrents".

Somebody clearly didn't use the site that wrote that.

I'd been wondering why I couldn't access the site for days!

The sharing of information is ok, it's the illegal sharing of copyrighted data that's not ok.

Granted the locking down of all info' on certain servers maybe overkill but something has to be done otherwise artists wouldn't get their millions for writing trashy songs.

It's not illegal, that's the media brainwashing hype bile, Copyright infringement is a civil matter it isn't a criminal offence in the UK , ...yet

The word "illegal" doesn't just apply to criminal law, you can make an "illegal" chess move without facing jail time.

But the media and tv hype will always try to wrongly imply that file sharing be it copyright protected or not could make those that do it criminals, and that it's a serious crime,blah ,blah ,blah
But the truth is ,that if it was a criminal act, then those accused would have the benefit of their accusers having to prove beyond reasonable doubt in the court,that the accused did infact commit the alleged crime. And harvesting IP addresses wouldn't be anywhere near enough evidence to secure a conviction , But of course they will never make it a criminal offence ,that wouldnt work to their advantage

Be careful what you wish for, criminal acts can carry custodial sentences.

In theory someone could end up in jail at the end of a chain of events that starts with unlawful distribution of copyright material. Failing to comply with Court Orders or failing to pay damages perhaps.

http://www.inbrief.co.uk/intellectual-property/crimi... also lists a series of activities that are criminal offences (and backed up by other sources).

But the lower burden of proof, specialist judges and higher damages make civil proceedings potentially more attractive.

Define "illegal" whether civil or criminal.

If it's not illegal to share copyrighted material why have so many servers, that allowed users to share said material, been shut down by the judiciary?
