Sports Rightsholders Want an EU Blacklist for ‘Piracy’ Hosting Providers

Sports broadcaster beIN and the Audiovisual Anti-Piracy Alliance propose to expand the European blocking efforts with a blacklist of rogue hosting companies. These companies can then be banned by their ASN, covering a series of IP-address blocks. By implementing the blocking measures across various network companies, including transit providers and internet exchanges, they aim to protect rights across the 'European Internet'.
