Today the court ruled in favor of a Dutch ISP to preventing blocking The Pirate Bay from its users, after anti-piracy group BREIN attempted to get ISPs in the Netherlands to block the website. BREIN attempted to block access for all Dutch citizens from The Pirate Bay, claiming the website infringes on copyright laws. However, because The Pirate Bay isn't located on a Ziggo server, Ziggo can't be held responsible for restricting access to the website, the ISP explained. XS4ALL noticed that this is a big victory for the small guy, fighting against an anti-piracy group that is attempting to block access to a website in order to combat piracy.
