The High Court has ruled that the UK's ISPs must block three more piracy-related sites after a suit from music industry body BPI

From Techradar:

There are plenty of people who remain unconvinced about website blocking as an anti-piracy measure, however.

When the courts brought The Pirate Bay block in last year, it was famously easy to workaround (and remains so to this day) which made the whole process fairly pointless. Stats showed that TPB activity was down at first after the block, but shot back up after mere days.

What's more, the blanket block handed down didn't cover sensitivity to the nuances required by the modern internet, which meant that the perfectly legal The Promo Bay was also blocked by some ISPs for a time.

 More sites blocked in the UK even though it doesn't seem to stop piracy
