In Britain, continue to close access to "pirated" sites

It seems that access to all sorts of sites ( for example, to Wikipedia ) is closed not only in Russia and the CIS countries. In Britain, record companies continue to fight their worst enemies - sites that distribute music, software, games and movies for free. In other words, the British Music Trade Association (BPI) yesterday sent a letter to the UK’s largest providers demanding that access to resources such as Fenoppy, H33t and Kickass Torrents be closed.



Organizations such as BT, Sky Broadband, Virgin Media, O2 Broadband, EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) and TalkTalk received the letter. BPI asks these organizations to close access to the above resources before Christmas (Catholic, of course). According to representatives of the association, these sites, as well as The Pirate Bay (access to the resource was closed in this country a little earlier ) earn from distributing pirated files that are distributed without the permission of musicians, writers and producers who created these works.

Of course, BPI considers these sites "threatening the growth of the country's music industry." The Pirate Bay, I remind you, is blocked in Britain by providers such as Virgin, BT, Everything Everywhere, Sky Broadband, Talk Talk, BE and O2.



Repeatedly, blocking of this resource has been criticized, considering such measures as “short-term and ineffective.” However, BPI continues to act in this direction further, trying to block more or less large torrent servers and file sharing sites in the country.
