Replica sites may start being blocked by ISP's

I got a very scary and official looking webpage telling me pirate bay and KAT were blocked by orders of the high court.  I am sure many of you have seen or know this. It seems designed to scare and looks like a court document.

 

I know there are proxies and such and didn't pay much attention to it. Later on  read all the sites blocked and by who, at very bottom of the list I saw this.

 

Cartier International AG

Montblanc-Simplo GMBH

Richemont International S.A.

Do you think a big crackdown is coming to the replica market? Especially as replicas seem to be getting so spot on these days?

No biggie. Happens all time especially to our high volume TDs. They're are taken down from a few hours to several days. They just register a new domain and get back in business. It's a cat and mouse game the worst fallout of which is that old links in the forums will no longer work. Small price to pay, pun intended.

i think hes saying his service provider will be blocking these sites on their end, its not a matter of a take down notice or the domain being seized. there was a recent court case in the U.S this past week about internet censorship and net neutrality. the service providers basically lost any right to do such a thing as well as have a "slow lane" for bit torrent and netflix traffic

the luxury brands are not going to leave any stones unturned in their quest to stamp out counterfeits. I'm sure that their frustration levels are super high right now, because one, the net neutrality move will severely cut down on what they can do, and despite their efforts, the rep sites, and I'm not just  talking about watches are sort of like playing a perpetual game of "Wack a Mole", wack one and he just  pops up somewhere else!!

 

I believe that while they will continue to pursue every opportunity to stop the websites, I feel like it's a futile effort, especially when we keep getting reports of the Chinese economy slowing. The leadership wants jobs, because people with jobs generally don't cause trouble, so a job is a job is a job to the Chinese hierarchy. If folks are getting paid, I don't think they give a rat's butt whether they are assembling IPhones or replica Rolexes!!
