Bulgaria Supreme Court Rules Blocking Pirate Sites Legally Impossible

Bulgaria's Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision on copyright enforcement. The court held that legally mandating the blocking of pirate websites is impossible. The ruling addresses ongoing attempts to curb online piracy in the country. It clarifies that existing legislation does not permit forced ISP blocking. Critics argue the decision may hinder efforts to protect intellectual property. Supporters of the ruling cite concerns over due process and overreach. The judgment could influence similar cases in other EU jurisdictions. Observers will watch how regulators adapt their anti‑piracy strategies.
