It's not just the Pirate Bay that's feeling the sting of High Court-infused blocking orders. Three more torrent sites, KickassTorrents, H33T and Fenopy, have been given the special treatment thanks to the BPI, just like TPB, with BT, Virgin, O2 and Be already blocking them off the face of the UK internet.

"Yes, it is the same thing - I like it as it's easy to use, not expensive and gives a wide choice of servers to access." More »
The High Court has ordered our ISPs to start auto-blocking three more sites linked with piracy, as a new batch of torrent providers are made to sit with The Pirate Bay on the inaccessible step. Read More >>
In the latest round of internet Whac-a-Mole, two foreign Pirate Parties have leapt into action and provided two shiny new proxies to access The Pirate Bay, following the BPI shutting down the UK proxy last week with some heavy-handed legal threats. Like some kinda bad Greek monster, it seems if you cut off one head, a couple new ones sprout up in its place. Read More >>
Well, Big Media won, for the time being at least. After taking legal action against the individual members of the UK's Pirate Party personally, which was hosting a Pirate Bay proxy, said proxy has been taken offline. I don't blame them for caving, really. Wouldn't you faced with being completely wiped out personally? [Pirate Party] Read More >>

The Pirate Party has been providing a very useful forwarding service on behalf of the Pirate Bay, enabling those whose ISPs have blocked the service to easilly access the popular torrent site. Which has angered the British Phonographic Industry, as you might expect. Read More >>

After successfully helping get (direct) access to the Pirate Bay officially blocked across all of the UK's key ISPs, the BPI is now said to be trying to add more torrent sites to the piracy blockade. Read More >>
TalkTalk customers have already got a lot to complain about, but the network has just added to them. The thing is, it's not really TalkTalk's fault; a court order sealed TPB's fate, and the network wants you to know that it's all the BPI's fault. Read More >>
After being blocked in the UK, The Pirate Bay wasn't all that happy that its British fans would be cut off. The UK loves a good bit of TPB, so it's launched a new site to make getting around the ISP blockade even easier. It's set up a brand new mirrored site operating from a different IP address -- take that internet filtering. Read More >>
Sales of digital albums are on the up in the UK, with data from the BPI revealing we bought more digital recordings during the first 10 months of 2011 than we did in all of 2010. Read More >>
After Hollywood's successful legal posturing to get BT to block Newzbin, which did nothing, the BPI is following their lead and is now after The Pirate Bay. Considering there's already a good record, they're taking the voluntary route this time. Read More >>
With all that juicy stuff coming out of the Apple campus in Cupertino, there's one thing we're not going to get, at least at launch. Britain gets screwed again, but this time it may not be Apple's fault. Read More >>
