To clarify, BREIN (the Dutch RIAA) demanded that two major ISPs block access to The Pirate Bay and won the trial. It's not a nation wide thing like SOPA, but it is pretty serious.
- bulte-rs 15y agoMaybe not a national blockage; but Ziggo and XS4All have a large marketshare. If this order is extended to UPC (another provider) you could almost call it a nationwide blockage.
- micheljansen 15y agoI did not mean to say it is not major. I just intended to clarify that this is an injunction against the companies, not a block at the national level as is the case with the Great Firewall of China and SOPA. This being an article written in Dutch and HN being in English :)
