When local courts first grant copyright holders permission to block a pirate site, it will almost certainly be the first of many similar requests.
In the UK, copyright holders have been blocking pirated sites for over a decade with additional sites being added to the ever-growing list every month. The major Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which together control the vast majority of the market, enforce the blocking injunctions under Section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988.
A blocked site or domain at one ISP will be blocked by everyone else, meaning that domains become permanently inaccessible or users are forced to resort to circumvention tools like VPNs. However, these types of solutions do not deter Hollywood studios, which continue to add domains to the UK's unofficial blacklist.
New additions to the pirate site block list
After many similar requests over the years, the Motion Picture Association has obtained permission to block even more domains. Posted by ISP TalkTalk, the latest additions are mostly pirated streaming platforms, with the direct domains / URLs listed below:
flixtor.gy, flixtor.nu, putlockernew.site, couchtuner.rocks, couchtuner.show, couchtuner.cloud, ww1.123moviesfree.net, 123movies-one.com, www5.bflix.to, ww1.fmoviefree.net, myflixerhd. ru, myflixer.it, myflixer.pw, myflixer.to, soap2day.cx ,, europixhd.net, europixhd.pro, europixhd.io, 123movies.online, 123moviesto.ch, 123moviesfun.ch, 123moviess.online, ww1.123movies .online, watch123movies.ch/home.html, levidia.ch, www.levidia.ch, www1.levidia.ch, levidia-ch.303.si, tinyzonetv.to, tinyzone.tv, tinyzonetv.cc, watchserieshd.tv , www1.watchserieshd.tv, www2.watchserieshd.tv, www3.watchserieshd.tv, www4.watchserieshd.tv, watchserieshd.io and watchserieshd.co
MPA also focuses on 'workaround' domains
When pirated domains are court-ordered blocked in the UK and elsewhere, services are often configured to re-enable access to those domains. Some simply act as mirror sites, but proxy services are also popular. In many cases, these make it easy to access major players like torrent sites RARBG and EZTV or launch blogs like SCNSRC. This lot continues the trend and says the following:
eztv.unblockit.kim, pw.unblockit.kim, solarmovie.unblockit.kim, solarmovies.movie, www1.solarmovies.movie ,, icefilms.unblockit.kim, scnsrc.unblockit.kim, losmovies.top, rarbg.unblockninja.com , rarbg.torrentbay.to
ISP-level domain blocking is just one of the tools available to groups like MPA. Much more permanent is the seizure (or technically a takeover) of 'pirate' domains, which are often handed over as part of a resolution agreement.
ACE 'seizes' even more pirated IPTV domains
The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment, the global anti-piracy coalition of which the MPA is a member, has been particularly successful in recent years. The group has taken control of more than 200 domains and each month it adds more to its growing list.
Precisely when an action is carried out against particular services it is difficult to identify, but at some point after ACE contacts a service, provider or provider, there is a period in which the platform ignores the demands of the anti-piracy group and continues regardless. , or agree to close and surrender your domains.
Over the past two weeks, ACE / MPA have added more to their collection.
Smart 5G TV (smart5gtv.com) recently announced that it was expanding its server capacity to reduce buffering in the United States. However, as this post In Reddit reveals, subscribing to the service didn't always go as planned. A user reports that after paying money the service went down, no surprises for guessing what happened.
Using similar graphics and domains, efiretv.net and efiretvglobal.com appear to be connected.
โCut the cord with the best service on the market, eFire. With the new SOPlayer app, you get the best viewing experience on the market. Sign up today! "The platform recently urged on its home page.
That offer now appears to have been discontinued, as both domains now display the well-known ACE seizure banner before redirecting it to ACE's anti-piracy portal.
Similar circumstances apply to Dynasty TV, which according to a Troypoint report low in September. Now it is confirmed that the IPTV service, which operated from dynasty-tv.com and dynastytvrepair.com, received an approach from ACE and subsequently handed over its domains to the anti-piracy group.
Finally, the streaming site cinemaqualidade.li, which appears to have specialized in content dubbed in Portuguese, has also fallen for ACE. It doesn't appear to have generated a lot of traffic, but it is taking the site down. adds to the momentum anti-piracy coalition, showing little sign of slowing down.
