TalkTalk is the latest isp to ban The Pirate Bay

TalkTalk has become the latest isp in the United Kingdom to implement a ban on The Pirate Bay less than a week after O2 and Be Broadband did.  This follows the High court decision back in April, which was brought about by the BPI. TalkTalk issued a statement on Tuesday  stating:

“TalkTalk can confirm that is it is blocking access to The Pirate Bay following a court order to so,” .

This leaves just BT, which is expected to follow suit at any time soon.

The UK high courts decision to order all UK Internet service providers to ban  TPB will prove to be futile, because TPB has a number options at it’s disposal to circumvent this restriction such as proxy servers,virtual private networks,alternative ip addresses etc. In fact TPB has already released a number of alternative ip addresses, which it can be accessed on.
