BREIN has obtained a new blocking order in the Netherlands targeting TorrentGalaxy, one the world's most popular torrent sites. Internet provider Odido objected to the request, arguing that the Dutch anti-piracy group could have done more to target the problem closer to the source. The Rotterdam District Court found that the anti-piracy group can't be expected to do more than it's already done.

I do appreciate our (netherlands) internet providers fighting this stuf consistently. It’s a shame the lower courts aren’t on our side anymore though.

They never were MPA found a stick up their ass recently and is going hard because they can’t believe they haven’t made trillions but billions instead.

Film Studios:

"We'll recycle the same theme's and franchises over and over until they're completely worn out AND we'll paywall the shit out of our media so everyone has to have 27 subscriptions to watch anything remotely interesting. Oh, and you're going to like it because we said so."

Also Film Studios:

"Wait, where are you going!? Why aren't you giving us money??? Come back! You can't not subscribe!"

BREIN needs to pull their heads out of their ass and realize this has next to no effect. The reason piracy is popular is because the alternative is worse.

Idk if im allowed to link it here, but for anyone having trouble accessing TG, they offer an onion service on tor, which is gonna be a whole lot harder to block, you can find the link on their official proxy list

There's also the old dns solution. That's what I did when they tried to block torrent sites before.

Pardon me what the pizza? What have they been doing exactly? Apart from pretending not to notice the reason piracy goes up?
