I'm not sure what it is we're disagreeing about, Tommy. The High Court, in February, in a court case brought against TPB by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), ruled that the site was guilty of aiding copyright infrigement. This blocking order, issued by the Court, is the consequence of that verdict. It's not an arbitrary ban; it's the result of "due process" and a court ruling.
