OTTAWA - TekSavvy Solutions Inc. has appealed a Federal Court order that internet service providers must block access to the websites of GoldTV, a company that provides pirated television online. It says it is also concerned that internet providers could be faced with hundreds or even thousands of site-blocking orders in the future, which could put a significant strain on its resources. Justice Patrick Gleeson ruled in favour of the plaintiffs, ordering that internet providers block or attempt to block access to GoldTV’s serivce within 15 days. In his ruling, Gleeson said neither net neutrality concerns nor freedom of expression outweighed the blocking of access to the company’s sites. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on Nov. 26, 2019.
