Customers of the Sky Broadband (BSkyB) service have this week joined those of BT in having their access to the controversial Newzbin2 piracy website blocked. Sky claims to have “received a court order requiring us to block access to this illegal website,” which follows last month’s warning letter by the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
The High Court of Justice (London) officially ordered BT to block the site in July 2011, which came after the MPA filed and successfully won an injunction against the broadband provider (here). The MPA then issued letters (here) to several other major UK ISPs ( TalkTalk , Virgin Media and Sky Broadband ) and called upon them to follow by BT’s example.
