A couple of things:
- no court had been asked to rule that the photo's of the royals were illegal to print.
- the Pirate Bay was blocked because of an action brought by an organisation that represented copyright holders, it was not blocked because someone in authority had a random musing to block it.
An ISP either has to voluntarily choose to block a website (for whatever reason), or it has to be 'asked' by a judge after a court ruling.
