    Default Federal Court of Canada issues unprecedented ruling ordering ISPs to block piracy ser

    The Federal Court of Canada has ordered internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to GoldTV, which is a pirate IPTV service. This is the first time that a nationwide blocking has been ordered in the country. The ruling comes after Bell, Rogers and Quebecor formally requested an order that would block customers from accessing GoldTV. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications review rejected the idea after which the ISPs filed a lawsuit. The federal court has now ruled that blocking the IPTV service would not infringe on freedom of expression or net neutrality.

    PREVIOUS|NEXTBusiness Federal Court of Canada issues unprecedented ruling ordering ISPs to block piracy service Internet service providers have 15 days to block their customers from accessing GoldTV By Aisha Malik@AiishaMalik1NOV 18, 20193:11 PM EST0 COMMENTS The Federal Court of Canada has ordered internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to GoldTV, which is a pirate IPTV service. This is the first time that a nationwide blocking has been ordered in the country. The ruling comes after Bell, Rogers and Quebecor formally requested an order that would block customers from accessing GoldTV. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications review rejected the idea after which the ISPs filed a lawsuit. The federal court has now ruled that blocking the IPTV service would not infringe on freedom of expression or net neutrality. The government has a net neutrality framework in place through the CRTC in reference to legal content. Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains previously stated that “all legal content must be treated equally by internet service providers.” The judge has ordered ISPs to block their customers from accessing GoldTV within 15 days of the court decision on November 15th. A representative for the plaintiffs, Rogers Media, Bell Media and Groupe TVA issued a statement to MobileSyrup regarding the case. “Content theft remains a critical threat to Canada’s creative sector, impacting rights holders and creators across the industry and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damages and thousands of lost jobs,” the joint statement reads. “Similar court orders are regularly issued by courts in other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia and France, and require Internet Service Providers to simply disable access to sites distributing illegal content. Our clients have now been granted the same remedy in Canada,” the statement concludes. TekSavvy was the only ISP to oppose the ruling during the court proceedings citing the belief that companies should not be responsible for the content of the traffic on their networks. “TekSavvy opposed the original motion because a blocking order is a grave violation of network neutrality and a fundamental change to what we do as Internet service providers,” a spokesperson told MobileSyrup in an email. The telecommunications company stated that site-blocking falls under the CRTC’s mandate as it is set out in the Telecommunications Act and that it is only warranted in exceptional circumstances. “As unsympathetic as GoldTV may be, TekSavvy’s view is that it does not represent such an urgent harm to the plaintiffs or to society that stopping its copyright infringing activities would justify such a fundamental change in the nature of the Internet in Canada,” the spokesperson said. The judge ordered that site-blocking has proven to be effective in other jurisdictions and that blocking the infringing service is an effective means of limiting harm. The court considered that this order could lead to GoldTV being substituted by another infringing service, but that the possibility of substitutions is not enough grounds to weigh against the ruling.

    I can just imagine the resources and operating costs involved for the big 3 to maintain blocking all these services or sites. Techsavvy were the only ones to get it. The big 3 now want to control where we go, what we read and what we watch. Will a vpn get around this?

    i think scratch that , no i know this is all BS , you pay for your ISP , you pay for your internet .. you should be able to do whatever you want , view whatever you want and watch whatever you want ..


    this is too much control , and i don't like the whole control concept .. i've seen all this before .. starts in one country and spreads like a wildfire else-where ..

    a vpn encrypts all communication between your device and its servers

    including the destination url

    i am not worried about the isp blocking this url or that ip , always a work around that .. go old school with a VPS running a SB , or use a VPN , problem solved .. isp can't block what they can't see ..

    if they kill all off the sources that's when i would get worried , so far they haven't .. how about stop charging people 350 bucks a month for tv and 100 bucks a month a internet , and they wonder why everyone's stealing this or that and call us the thieves ..

    what a joke

    When they first announce back in August they would be going to Court to seek this order I expected they would be successful. I am not saying I agree or it will be effective just saying its no surprise to me. GoldTv was issued interim and interlocutory Injunction against operating but ignored the Court order and kept infringing on the Plaintiffs.


    One thing Courts do not like is when their Court order is disobeyed. What choice were they left with.? Who should we blame for this happening ? The Court ? The ISP's for not fighting strong enough ? Frankly I blame GoldTv. Whether we like it or not their services are illegal, we know it, they know it and when it comes down to it they are the cause. I don't expect my opinion to be too popular.
