surfisup1000: jbard: Yeah it starts with TPB but were does it end? Youtube for the first 3-4 years of it's life was mainly pirated material? How about Google/Bing seen as they list any file on any file sharing site? You can 'justify' blocking TPB any way you like but with the same logic I can also 'justify' blocking 100's of legitimate sites people use everyday. The justifiers appear :) Your examples are not affected because their primary purpose is not for pirating, or , they are an extra logical step away from the actual infringer. The primary purpose of Youtube is not to download copyrighted material. Even better, youtube allow copyright holders to take-down material. The primary purpose of google is as a search engine, not to download illegal material . The primary purpose of piratebay (and many other torrent websites) is to provide downloads of pirated material.
