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,

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.
