The local anti-piracy movement applauded the landmark verdict which opened the doors for further censorship attempts. However, this cheerful mood was short-lived.

Countering the court decision The Pirate Bay team registered a new domain name that was not covered by the ruling. This domain, depiraatbaai.be, quickly became one of the most-visited websites in Belgium.

But not anymore.

As of yesterday depiraatbaai.be is blocked as well, presumably added to the already existing court order.

TorrentFreak asked The Pirate Bay team whether they plan to strike back by adding a new domain but we have yet to hear back. But even without a new domain Belgians affected by the blockade have plenty of alternatives available.
