In the aftermath of the High Court ruling, and resulting media coverage, The Pirate Bay enjoyed a huge internet-traffic spike. The Pirate Bay reacted angrily to the High Court ruling this week, declaring, "We can't allow this s*** to happen."īut - to quote an adage - there's no such thing as bad press. Internet service providers Sky, Everything Everywhere, TalkTalk and 02 will all follow suit at some point. It's "a legal obligation we must comply by", explained Virgin on its website. "Virgin Media has received an order from the Courts requiring us to prevent access to this site in order to help protect against copyright infringement." That's the message Virgin Media users will be greeted with when attempting to access The Pirate Bay (via The Verge). The High Court ruled on Monday that this must be so. Virgin Media is the first UK internet service provider to deny customers access to torrent sharing website The Pirate Bay.
