The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK ISPs, court rules

File-sharing site The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK internet service providers, the High Court has ruled.
"Its operators line their pockets by commercially exploiting music and other creative works without paying a penny to the people who created them."
"We should keep blocking them - they are stealing music illegally."
Yeah, that will so work. It's not like it is impossible to simply switch your DNS servers, something that takes maybe a minute or two. Also, I didn't know what you can steal music legally; or wait, I think the labels do that. They too exploit music and other creative works on a commercial scale. True, the may pay artists up to a penny, but when you look at "The Promo Bay" it makes you wonder if that approach isn't better for the artists.
