BT ordered to block NewzBin2

on .

For the first time ever in the UK an ISP has been ordered to block a file sharing website solely based on copyright infridgement.

BT was given 14 days to block the Newzbin2 website accused of promoting illegal filesharing by Hollywood studios, in the first high court ruling of its kind under UK copyright law.

This may have been for movie file sharing but the court ruling can now be used in cases for music copyright infridgment.
