The Federation of the Italian Music Industry, also known as FIMI, has won a court ruling that will ban access to the website Isohunt for Italians.
Local Internet service providers will be forced to block their subscribers' access to the BitTorrent search engine. The site is already inaccessible to many users, as TorrentFreak reports.
The search website is already waging legal battles in a never-ending case with the MPAA in the United States, but it seems Italy has already won this round.
The FIMI states that Isohunt is causing the Italian music industry millions of euros in losses and immediate action is required.
So the Court of Milan ordered ISPs to block the IsoHunt.com domain and its current IP address.
It remains to be seen whether Isohunt will choose to appeal the decision, given that other websites have won similar battles.
