The Pirate Bay site could be blocked in the UK, after a High Court judge ruled that the torrent site and its users are committing copyright infringement. The case was brought before the court by a coalition of major record labels, including Sony, EMI and Universal. They want the court to force ISPs to block the website.

This follows from a landmark ruling in July 2011, where BT was ordered to block access to Newzbin2 – a site that aggregates links to copyrighted content. The judge ruled then that BT must use technology designed for blocking child pornography to make the site inaccessible to its customers.
