domains<http://yle.fi/uutiset/news/2012/01/pirate_bay_block_comes_into_force_in_finland_3160454.html>
leading
to the infamous torrent-tracker site The Pirate Bay following a court case
initiated by IFPI
Finland<http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/05/26/1719226/finnish-record-labels-want-to-block-pirate-bay>...
The Helsinki District Court ruled in favor of IFPI Finland in October, but
the ISP resisted<http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/07/18/1216205/isp-refuses-to-block-the-pirate-bay>implementing
the block until today because of the terms of the block not being specific
enough<http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2012/01/09/finnish_isp_forced_to_block_the_pirate_bay>.
The ISP is calling the block 'temporary' and is appealing the court
decision."*Analysis from Torrent Freak shows that the block is probably
easily circumvented<http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-shows-futility-of-domain-and-dns-blocks-120109/>
