BitTorrent – The French ISP will block ‘T411′ – ZDNet France

The offensive against sites “massively infringing”, translate, offering illegal download links of cultural content, continues. After The Pirate Bay, the French beneficiaries have obtained justice blocking T411, an important torerent link sharing site.

As for Pirate Bay, on the basis of the provisions of the Hadopi law , a company assigns, the SCPP (Civil Society Phonograms Producers) was obtained from the French court that the site is subject to blocking action by ISPs.

SCPP chaired by Pascal Negro, “welcomes the court decision today by the Paris TGI requiring access providers to implement all necessary measures to prevent access from French territory sharing site T411 music files. After blocking site The Pirate Bay, this decision is a new step in the fight against music piracy and strengthens the existing similar decisions in the EU and around the world, “it said in a statement.

The SCPP had initiated proceedings against T411 in December. If lock T411 and Pirate Bay are two separate procedures, the angle of attack is the same and is based on Article L336-2 of the Code
  Intellectual Property. Remember, it states that ”
 presence of an infringement of a copyright or related right “, the
 court “may order” [...] “all appropriate measures to prevent or
 to stop such an attack “and that” against any person
  likely to contribute to remedy. “

Still, the blocking measures have limited effect. In 2012, it is justice in the UK who had asked the ISP
  countries to implement this measure against The Pirate Bay … for an efficiency that quickly proved to zero as reported on the BBC.

According to
  interviewed a provider then blocking The Pirate Bay
 had indeed resulted in an immediate drop in traffic in the order of
 11%, but it was only of short duration, and traffic
 then returned to its original level.

The proxy site development and IP addresses change Pirate Bay servers had favored bypassing the blockage by British Internet users. Worse, the media coverage of this blockage had helped blow the hearing on P2P site (12 million more visitors).
