A copyright battle has spawned a sweeping order demanding internet service providers block a set of pirate sites \u2014 one of the broadest such rulings to date.<\/p>\n

As TorrentFreak<\/em> recently reported<\/a>, a New York district judge ruled in late April on a series of copyright lawsuits against<\/a> three<\/a> sites<\/a> that rebroadcast mostly Hebrew-language television. The rightsholders demanded monetary damages from the site operators \u2014 who didn\u2019t show up in court \u2014 and an injunction meant to prevent viewers from accessing the services. Judge Katherine Polk Failla approved the request and ordered a voluminous list of ISPs to block Israeli-TV.com, Israel.tv, and Sdarot.com. The companies are required to block not only the current addresses but also any domain known to be \u201cused in the future … by any technological means available.\u201d Users should instead be directed to a page that notifies them of the block.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just ISPs that are affected either. Web hosting providers, web designers, domain name registration services, and advertising companies \u2014 among others \u2014 are all barred from doing business with the sites.<\/p>\n

Copyright suits can ask for blocking orders. But it\u2019s highly unusual for them to be this comprehensive, says Meredith Rose, senior policy counsel of the nonprofit Public Knowledge. \u201cThat scope of the injunction and listing that many players in it is beyond the norm,\u201d she says. Among other things, third parties are supposed to get a chance to show up in court and contest blocking orders, which raises the barrier to demanding them. That doesn\u2019t appear to have happened in this case.<\/p>\n
