		hpaavola on Jan 9, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Finnish ISP forced to block access to ThePirateBay... European court of justice (ECJ) have already ruled that such blocking is againts EU rules and regulations, http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2011... So I guess that higher Finnish courts will follow ECJ's decision when they get this case.

I don't think the ECJ ruling covers DNS- or IP-blocks. To my understanding ECJ ruled against filtering that would require the service provider to look into the traffic that passes through its system.
