BREIN has obtained a new blocking order in the Netherlands targeting TorrentGalaxy, one the world's most popular torrent sites. Internet provider Odido objected to the request, arguing that the Dutch anti-piracy group could have done more to target the problem closer to the source. The Rotterdam District Court found that the anti-piracy group can't be expected to do more than it's already done.

I do appreciate our (netherlands) internet providers fighting this stuf consistently. It’s a shame the lower courts aren’t on our side anymore though.

BREIN needs to pull their heads out of their ass and realize this has next to no effect. The reason piracy is popular is because the alternative is worse.
