From a technical standpoint how feasible is it to simply blacklist sites?
Clone sites and proxies exist to circumvent these blocks. On 29/01/2015 14:48, Bernard Kioko via kictanet wrote:
James i posted a link where high court in UK ruled those same sites be blocked by ISPs and that's happening.

Listers,
Hmm...I don't know why I get the feeling this is a case of throwing mud at the wall to see if it will stick.
ISPs have never been held liable for downloading illegal content anywhere in the world. From the get go let us dispense with that. Neither will they be found so in this case.
I remember vividly when Napster came out and also when Kazaa followed....groups went after the sites not the ISPs. To this day, it is piracy sites that even the FBI goes for not the likes of Comcast or AT$T. Data privacy does not allow you to start checking what your customer is downloading or uploading....this is not China and getting into that territory is very dangerous for people's rights.
Let these guys do the hard work and go for the piracy sites or sue NTSA for allowing bhang to be transported on our roads.
lol
Regards,
James

Will be an interesting case to keep the eye on.
What is not in doubt is that the final ruling will set a very serious precedent on how to deal with copyright issues when it comes to the Online World.

Does Kenya have necessary laws, and do the copyright holders have a list of infringing sites?
