Amsterdam Court of Appeal issues dynamic blocking injunction in long-running dispute between BREIN and ISPs

The respected IPkat blog on Intellectual Property Rights recently reviewed the Amsterdam Court of Appeals blocking decision.

The IPKat: Amsterdam Court of Appeal (CoA) recently issued a dynamic blocking injunction against two Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Ziggo and XS4All, aimed at preventing access to notorious torrent site The Pirate Bay.The decision is part of a long-running dispute, which started in 2010 and led to the landmark ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in C-610/15 Stichting Brein. The decision is the latest in a series of judgments by European courts which impose, in one form or another, blocking injunctions to prevent large-scale online copyright infringements. Not even ten years ago, such injunctions were controversial, but following a series of CJEU rulings – in particular, C-314/12 UPC Telekabel Wien – they now seem commonly accepted. The Amsterdam CoA’s decision is interesting because it applies, in great detail, the UPC Telekabel Wien framework to the case at hand.
