Big labels try for ISP blocking on 3 more 'pirate' sites
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 23 October 2012
The BPI, which represents major UK record companies, has asked the ISPs to stop people accessing Fenopy, Kickass Torrents and H33T.
“Like The Pirate Bay, these websites are profiting illegally from distributing music that isn’t theirs, without permission and without paying a penny to the musicians, writers and producers who created it," a BPI spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "It is plain wrong."
Just like everybody said before, more censorship will be tried by the industry now that they managed to get TPB blocked. It was so obvious from the beginning that according to them this will be the only option to save their failure of a business model. It will be interesting however what other arguments they will come up with when the Megabox service is launched which actually does pay artists and removes the middlemen, aka labels.
