According to the Internet traffic ranker <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexa.com\/topsites\/global;3\">Alexa.com<\/a>, it is the 80<sup>th<\/sup> most popular website in the world. By comparison, Netflix is the 96<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0most popular website and New York Times is 112<sup>th<\/sup>). The site\u2019s overwhelming popularity has not gone unnoticed \u2013 with governments and companies across the world (<a href=\"http:\/\/nurpa.be\/actualites\/2011\/10\/BAF-belgacom-telenet-blocage-dns\">Belgium<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/businesscenter\/article\/154854\/pirate_bay_still_blocked_in_denmark.html\">Denmark<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpaa.org\/resources\/68638b79-4e58-4ea5-9d22-533ea318a5ab.pdf\">Germany<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itproportal.com\/2012\/05\/21\/greek-courts-order-isps-to-block-music-sites\/\">Greece<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/newspaper\/frontpage\/2009\/0129\/1232923373331.html\">Ireland<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afterdawn.com\/news\/article.cfm\/2010\/02\/08\/the_pirate_bay_blocked_in_italy_a_second_time\">Italy<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/thestar.com.my\/news\/story.asp?file=\/2011\/6\/11\/nation\/8879884&amp;sec=nation\">Malaysia<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/technology-18016819\">Netherlands<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/china-hijacks-popular-bittorrent-sites-081108\/\">China<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelocal.se\/27488\/20100628\/\">Sweden<\/a>, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2012\/03\/26\/microsoft_censors_pirate_bay_im\/\">United States)<\/a> pressured heavily by media corporations to shut down or limit access to the site.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we arrive at the High Court ruling that the UK\u2019s ISPs must block TPB\u2019s IP address \u2013 a block that encompasses approximately 19 million users, representing 94% of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-1023_3-57457001-93\/u.k.s-largest-isp-blocks-the-pirate-bay-but-to-no-avail\/\">Internet users in the UK<\/a>. The reasoning behind this decision was centered on section 97A of the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/1988\/48\/section\/97A\">Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988<\/a><\/em>, which states, \u201cThe High Court (in Scotland, the Court of Session) shall have power to grant an injunction against a service provider, where that service provider has actual knowledge of another person using their service to infringe copyright.\u201d Furthermore, the court ruled, there was no question that the Defendants (ISPs) satisfied the definition of service providers, that the users and operators of TPB use the Defendants\u2019 services to infringe copyright, and that the Defendants have actual knowledge of this infringement.<\/p>\n<p>There is little issue with the reasoning behind the High Court\u2019s decision; however, the legislation itself raises questions. In my opinion, there are two issues with the legislation. The first issue is a jurisdictional problem. TPB is a website whose servers are <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Pirate_Bay\">located in Sweden<\/a>, and is granted network connectivity through a Swedish company, Serious Tubes Network. Thus, British companies are being held responsible for content over which they wield no control because it is\u00a0created by foreign companies. By requiring British ISPs to block such IP addresses, the courts are effectively limiting the companies\u2019 consumer bases. This intervention in restricting which services these commercial entities are allowed to provide is unwarranted; since the goal of these companies is to provide access to the Internet, not monitor its content.<\/p>\n<p>The second issue with the legislation is that it is difficult to logically assign fault to the ISP \u2013 for it is neither responsible for hosting, nor downloading the content. Rather, it is the hosting company that simply enables the Internet user to perform the actual acts of hosting and downloading pirated content. While the ISP is the easiest target, ease of accusation does not translate to culpability. It is one thing to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iposgoode.ca\/2012\/06\/new-uk-code-pulls-isps-into-the-anti-piracy-battle\/\">ask the ISP to monitor<\/a> its users\u2019 actions on the Internet, but an entirely different and unjustified matter to hold them responsible for the actions of their users.<\/p>\n<p>As an aside, while the IP block comes as the court\u2019s latest method of restricting access, TPB has a reputation of circumventing both restrictions and attempts to physically shut down its servers with astonishing ease and efficiency. In response to the UK IP address ban, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/news\/archive\/2012-05\/24\/the-proxy-bay\">TPB has launched a parallel version<\/a> of its website with a new IP address that is unblocked from the aforementioned ISPs, thus allowing UK users full access to its site.<\/p>\n<p>In a move that almost mocks international authorities\u2019 attempts to bring down their servers, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/news\/archive\/2012-03\/19\/pirate-bay-drones\">TPB is planning <\/a>to use GPS-controlled, low-orbit aircraft containing microcomputers to store and transmit it server data. In doing so, TPB would severely complicate efforts to locate and shut down their servers. Perhaps it truly lives up to its reputation as \u201cthe world\u2019s most resilient BitTorrent site\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>Byron Tse is a JD Candidate at Western University, Faculty of
