Xs4all has announced that the Wednesday, his website at black. The isp wants, as protest against the court-imposed freezing of the torrentsite The Pirate Bay. It is still unknown whether Ziggo the example of Xs4all will follow.
As well as Ziggo will also Xs4all access to the illustrious torrentsite, from Wednesday to block. The blockade is the result of a judgment of the court in The Hague at the request of Brein. Lawyers of Xs4all have, however, in an opinion piece in het Financieele Dagblad announced that the website of the provider Wednesday in protest on black will go. They argue that the judgment has the consequence that legitimate content is censored. Also, Xs4all subscribers not defend themselves.
The lawyers of the isp are also not happy that Brein the list to block domain names and ip addresses, can continue to completion. This, they argue, would be possible on the basis of a legal provision which states that ‘measures should be imposed on intermediaries for copyright infringements to occur’, reports the FD.
Or Ziggo like Xs4all also has plans to have its entire site on black to convert, is still unknown. The kabelaar sets on his site for a while that the lock with protest has had to make.
Xs4all and Ziggo both have already stated that they will appeal against the judgment, but in the meantime, the two providers required to The Pirate Bay to remain blocked. Both isps believe that the blockage through a variety of methods are easy to circumvent. In addition, some other major isps announced not voluntarily torrentsite to will block, despite requests to do so from Brain.
