Euro court says ISPs can block piracy sites

ISPs can be requested (by a court) to block access to pirate sites: that is the verdict of the European Court.

The arguments by the ISP (UPC Austria) were quite reasonable (it’s customers were not proven to act unlawfully, it had no relation to the pirate site, putting blocking measures in place is expensive and ineffective).

It is still awkward and seems disproportional.
