• Resumen

  • Six major US studios, holding rights to a large number of films and television programmes, applied to the UK High Court for an order requiring the five major UK internet service providers to block access to nine different websites. This was to prevent very large scale copyright infringement and can be granted under section 97A of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988. The service providers did not oppose the granting of the orders.
