more ISP's join BT, asked to block content

[silicon_toad2000]

Virgin Media, TalkTalk and Sky have received written requests on Monday, which said the film industry body is planning to take the two companies to court to prevent its users accessing the torrent site.

This comes just over a fortnight since the MPA won a case against broadband giant BT to block access to the Newzbin2 site, and only days after a music representative body the BPI asked BT to block torrent search engine The Pirate Bay from its customers.

But there is hope for the free and open British web, which was cut short this week by the MPA’s court order, as some ISPs are considering their positions in a possible fightback.
