The UK High Court has ruled today that BSkyB, BT, Virgin Media, EE, Talk Talk and O2 must block access to three large file sharing websites.
Per the ruling, the ISPs must now "take measures to block or at least impede access by their customers" to Kickass Torrents, H33T and Fenopy.
Between the six ISPs, 94 percent of the UK broadband market will be covered, effectively killing the sites in the nations.
The case was brought to the court by the major record labels, and was also supported by the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
Each of the torrent sites are major players, with Kickass ranking in the top 100 most trafficked sites in the world by most counts.
