It's not a generic ruling, get one and you can then just tell BT what to block... it's specific to that site and requires more court actions for further sites... sets a precedent but not going to make a massive difference... one estimate had them as equivalent to just 2% of TPBs file handling and they're hardly the only site around as far as I know... and it's so difficult to just set up again in another location... take your latest site backup and restore to new servers with different address...

Wish they'd do the sensible thing and make legal D/Ling more acceptable and easier than non-legal... Hollywood and the rest of the media producers really ought to try joining the 21st century... hell the 20th would be a start...
