Pirate Bay ban lifted in Netherlands as blocking torrent sites ruled ‘ineffective’

Earlier on in my research of articles I spoke about the new pirate bay browser and well in the Netherlands the Dutch court states that the ban should be lifted on pirate bay after two dutch internet providers, Ziggo and XS4All too this to court which led to the reversing of the blocking order. Niels Huijbregts, spokesman for XS4All stated that the free internet was victorious and that they are "pleased that the court ruled in favour of the freedom of information, protecting a fundamental right of all Dutch citizens." The judges believe that blocking the pirate bay at ISP level didn't stop users from using the BitTorrent network and illegal downloading, it actually did the opposite and increased piracy.
