Closed Blockade against Solarmovie and TubePlus

Closed on

SIGN THIS PETITION TO STOP THE UK GOVERNMENT CENSORING THE INTERNET

The UK website web blocking bonanza continued today with the High Court adding two major movie streaming portals to the country’s unofficial ban list. Six major ISPs have been ordered to block access to SolarMovie and TubePlus, two streaming portals with millions of regular visitors. The ruling comes after Hollywood studios filed a complaint that remained uncontested by the ISPs.

tubeplusIn recent years the UK has become the easiest country in the world in which to have a website censored on copyright grounds.

With several successful court orders in hand it is now a mere formality to have a torrent site or streaming portal blocked under Section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act.
