NL Court rules Pirate Bay blockade is illegal

After many court cases, it looks like BREIN (the Dutch RIAA) and Tim Kuyk have finally suffered a humiliating defeat. In a victory for common sense and freedom, they were made to pay EUR 326000,- in legal fees to the providers, who showed that not only was a blockade completely unenforcable, there were plenty of alternatives to TPB. This means there is no reason to limit the freedom providers have to run their businesses.
