Mexican ISPs block off copyright infringing blogs

Mexican internet service providers have blocked 35 blogs at the request of anti-piracy body ACPM Mexico, the IFPI reports.

An anti-piracy body representing both the record and movie industries in Mexico has persuaded internet service providers there to block access to 35 blogs which they say existed mainly to distribute pirated content.

According to the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry, ACPM Mexico has managed to have blogs containing no less than 66,000 "infringing links" closed down.

Quite how much persuasion the Mexican ISPs needed to comply isn't clear, but it seems unlikely European net firms would agree to such measures without a court order telling them they have to.
