All internet service providers in US must block 3 pirate streaming sites, federal judge rules

A federal judge in New York City has ordered every internet service provider in the United States to block three pirate streaming services that are rebroadcasting copyrighted Israeli shows in this country.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla of the Southern District of New York issued default judgments and permanent injunctions last week against streaming services Israel.tv, Israeli-tv.com and Sdarot.tv, report Ars Technica, TorrentFreak and TechDirt.

[...]

The orders require ISPs to block the streaming services at any of their domain addresses known today or at any address that they use in the future. The injunctions also bar third-party companies from doing business with the steaming services, whether they use their current domains or future ones.

The three orders are known as “dynamic” injunctions because they are intended to adapt to any countermeasures adopted by the streaming services, according to TorrentFreak.

1. Eh....

Not a good road to go down. Particularly when you understand it will be entirely ineffective.

Much like chemists altering a single molecule to circumvent drug laws, it takes very little effort to change domains. Or go to the darkweb, for that matter.

2. Ah torrents

Gots some great bootleg live shows off PirateBay in the early 2000's.
