Court orders UK ISPs to block more piracy sites

The High Court has ordered the UK's major internet service providers to block three websites offering links to pirated material.

The ISPs must stop their users from accessing Kickass Torrents, H33T and Fenopy. Music industry group the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) said the sites infringed copyright on a "significant scale". Opponents have argued that blocking sites in this way was ineffective. The block follows a similar ruling last year involving The Pirate Bay, a much larger site founded in Sweden.
