Belgian ISPs to block The Pirate Bay (translate.google.com)

2 points by Tharkun ↗ HN
Pardon the very crappy Google translation. Brief English summary:

A Belgian court of appeals has decided that ISPs should block access to the The Pitate Bay. It's a simple matter of DNS blocking, so it's pretty east to circumvent (ie don't use crappy ISP DNS servers). Still a very disturbing precedent. IANAL, but I was always told that downloading was perfectly legal under Belgian law, whereas sharing was not.
