European ISPs Push for Rightsholder Liability When Piracy Blocks Hit Innocent Sites

European internet service providers are calling for copyright holders to be held financially responsible when overly broad blocking orders cause collateral damage to legitimate websites. ISPs argue that rightsholders who request site-blocking measures should bear accountability if those actions inadvertently restrict access to lawful content. The push reflects growing frustration among ISPs who are often caught between enforcing copyright demands and avoiding harm to uninvolved parties. This debate is unfolding within broader European discussions around online copyright enforcement frameworks and the responsibilities of each stakeholder involved.
