Following a High Court ruling obtained by a group of record labels, UK ISPs including Sky, Everything Everywhere, TalkTalk, O2, and Virgin Media were ordered to start censoring The Pirate Bay website.
Virgin Media were the first provider to implement the ban, introducing a DNS and IP address blockade last week.
Today, Orange (part of Everything Everywhere), initiated their block.
In common with Virgin, Orange has also implemented the twin approach of tampering with TPB’s DNS entry and blocking the site’s IP address. Users of the ISP now see the following message when they try to access The Pirate Bay.
Rather than reducing traffic to The Pirate Bay, when news of the blockade spread last week the famous torrent site received even more traffic.
