British ISPs Will Block More File-Sharing Services
UK ISPs have been recently ordered to block subscribers from accessing another couple of file-sharing websites - EZTV and YIFY Torrents. The reason is of course copyright infringement. The two portals were alleged of providing Internet users mass access to illegal material by entertainment industry groups, including the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT).
EZTV, as you might have already guessed, is a TV torrent website. YIFY Torrents positions itself as the service offering high-quality DVD rips. Movie industry has won a High Court order a few days ago which is yet to be published, but will take effect soon. The order in question follows efforts by the two outfits to contact the owners of both websites.
Representatives of anti-piracy organizations explained that they wrote to EZTV in June and asked the service to stop infringing creative material. The outfits pointed out that the website provided access to copyrighted content on a massive scale, without permission from the rights holders. However, the industry hasn’t received any response and decided to take further action against EZTV through the courts.
UK Internet service providers already restrict access to the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay. In addition, back in June they had to prevent their subscribers from viewing a football streaming service.
The moves follow wider industry efforts to target file-sharing portals beyond ISP blocks. Thus far, largest tech companies (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo) have already agreed to ban adverts from piracy websites at the behest of the American government, thus drying up one source of revenue. At the same time, payment services like PayPal have also started to freeze funds in accounts belonging to unauthorized file-sharing websites.
