Major Romanian ISP Blocks Bit Torrent Site

Just over 12 months since one of Romania’s most popular Bit Torrent trackers was raided by the police, Torrentbits.ro is suffering more problems. Customers of one of Romania’s largest ISPs, UPC, can no longer access the site.More and more over the last year, we have witnessed anti-piracy lobby groups targeting ISPs to force them to either hand over the details of users they allege breach their copyrights, or, more clumsily, pressure them to block access to entire sites. The most famous recent case concerned The Pirate Bay, which was blocked by ISPs in Italy at the behest of the IFPI, who were then forced by a court to unblock the site again.
