Dutch court bans Pirate Party links to The Pirate Bay

The Netherlands' Pirate Party has been ordered to stop publicising ways to circumvent blocks to The Pirate Bay. The ruling by a court in the Hague follows a complaint by the anti-piracy group Brein. It had said that the political party was helping users overcome a previous ruling that had ordered two of the country's biggest internet service providers to prohibit access to TPB.


A subsequent order instructed a further five ISPs to block access to the site

The rulings mark the latest action to prevent users from illegally sharing films, books, music and other copyrighted material via TPB's magnet links, the BBC reports.

At the end of April the UK also ordered several of its ISPs to prevent users from accessing the Swedish site.
