  Pirate sites could be blocked in the future with proposed changes to Copyright Act

   

  Websites that mainly offer pirated content - which could include well-known file-sharing site The Pirate Bay - might be blocked by all Internet service providers here in the future.

  This could pan out if holders of the copyrights to the content - such as music, movies and books - apply to the High Court to block access to such pirate sites, under proposed changes to the Copyright Act by the Ministry of Law.

  On Monday, the ministry put out a consultation paper to seek public feedback on the amendments, which are planned to be made by the end of the year.

  The changes target websites that blatantly disregard or clearly infringe copyrights. However, legitimate search engines and content-sharing sites, such as Google and YouTube, will not be affected.
