FOXTEL might have launched a new budget streaming service to attract new customers to the platform, but this doesn’t mean it has stopped its relentless attacks on piracy. The subscription TV provider will return to the Federal Court on August 8, where it will lodge its latest application for a website-blocking injunction made under Australian anti-piracy laws.

After successfully having The Pirate Bay, isohunt, Torrentz, and TorrentHound blocked by ISPs last December, Foxtel are seeking an injunction to have another 17 piracy sites blocked. The infringing sites include: YesMovies, Vumoo, LosMovies, CartoonHD, Putlocker, Watch Series 1, Watch Series 2, Project Free TV 1, Project Free TV 2, Watch Episodes, Watch Episode Series, Watch TV Series, The Dare Telly, Putlocker9.is, Putlocker9.to, Torlock and 1337x.

In total, the company has listed 127 key URLs to be blocked to ensure the piracy outlets cannot just keep operating using a mirror of the original site. If the application is successful, ISPs like Optus, Telstra and TPG will have 15 days to comply.While the injunction would be a victory for Foxtel’s ongoing war against piracy, the company will be required to pay the affected ISPs $50 per domain it wants blocked.

If a new mirror or proxy site does appear after the application, Foxtel will also have to lodge an affidavit with the Federal Court to alter the original blocklist.

Based on Foxtel’s victory last December, it is highly likely the subscription TV provider will be successful in its blocking efforts, although it still has to prove the sites it is targeting have the primary purpose of copyright infringement or the facilitation of copyright infringement.

Earlier this year, the Federal Court imposed a separate injunction led by music industry heavyweights Universal Music, Warner Music, Sony Music and J Albert & Son.The Federal Court agreed the targeted KickassTorrents (KAT) domains met the threshold requirements for blocking under the Copyright Act and ordered they be blocked.

“The large number of monthly visits to the KAT website indicate that the infringement facilitated by the KAT website can be described as flagrant and reflect an open disregard for copyright on the part of the operators of the KAT website,” Justice Burley said when handing down the ruling.
