Pira-cy continues to receive new setbacks, and today it is the turn of web pages that accumulate tens of millions of visits per month among all, and that are among the most visited on the Internet. Pirte website blocks are one of the most effective ways to try to reduce online pira-cy, and now six major operators are going to block them.
We are talking about BT, EE, Plusnet, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media , which between the six control 90% of Internet connections in the United Kingdom . In the country there is no automatic blocking system without direct judicial intervention as we have in Spain, since Movistar is updating weekly a list accessed by other operators, and whose links must be blocked immediately so that users cannot access.
In the United Kingdom, Columbia Pictures, Disney Enterprises, Netflix Studios, Paramount Pictures, Universal City Studios and Warner Bros. Entertainment requested the blocking of five websites across the country, all of them related to streaming movies and series directly from the websites .
List of blocked websites
The largest of all blocked websites is Tinyzonetv.to. This website has 16.5 million visitors per month, of which 13.5% come from the United States and 13% from the United Kingdom. On the web they have 250,000 accessible movies and chapters with subtitles in dozens of languages, with newly released titles even like Dune. The website has already received claims for its closure at the beginning of the year.
The second is Watchserieshd.tv , with 10 million monthly visits. 18% of its traffic comes from the United Kingdom, so it will be seriously affected by the new blockade. The website has been in the crosshairs of the authorities since September 2020, after they requested information from Cloudflare to identify its operators.
The third is Levidia.ch , which began operating in June 2021, but was nothing more than the new domain of the Levidia.to website. It currently has 4.5 million visitors per month.
The fourth is 123movies.online and 123moviesfun.ch , which currently link to the same domain. They have around a million visits per month, most of which come from the United States (30%), with 16% from the United Kingdom.
The fifth and final one is Europixhd.net , which currently has 750,000 visits, up from 2.3 million in April. This is a sign that there are already countries blocking the web, hence the visits have plummeted. 18% of the traffic comes from the United States, and 6.5% from the United Kingdom.
This type of blockade can have worldwide consequences for these websites, since their number of visits is being reduced by millions of people. That means a reduction in advertising revenue on websites that already have trouble staying afloat with current visits.
