A Canadian Federal Court judge has signed a site‑blocking order that targets pirate sites that have not yet launched. The ruling is notable for anticipating future infringement rather than reacting to sites that already exist.
Justice Richard Southcott signed the order on July 3 2026 in case T‑1127‑26, with major studios such as Rogers, Disney, Netflix, Paramount, Universal and Warner Bros. as supporters. Eight internet providers—including Bell, Telus, TekSavvy and Videotron—are tasked with enforcing the block for a two‑year period.
U.S. readers should take note, as Hollywood is lobbying for comparable authority south of the border.
Why the Scope of This Canadian Blocking Order Is Different
Earlier decisions required a static list of domains; when a pirate site moved to a new address, the studios had to return to court for an amendment. The new order streamlines that process, giving rights holders a quicker path.
Applicants may submit an amended schedule that adds new domains or IP addresses. If no ISP raises an objection within the court‑specified window, the addition takes effect immediately, without a separate hearing. The scope also extends beyond the original 13 titles to include services that may still be unnamed.
Having observed this cycle for years, I see the self‑serve “block” button less as a solution and more as an acknowledgment that earlier rulings fell short.
List of Blocked Pirate Streaming Domains
The schedule lists 16 domains. The complete list is provided in a PDF linked in the original filing.
- con.me
- confbucket.me
- tvnow.best
- starlite.best
- db.dp-elite.net
- glotv.me
- play.zee5.live
- new.jiotv.be
- 4k.spicetv.cc
- smart4k.me
- 123moviesfree.net
- cineby.gd
- fmovies.co
- hydrahd.ru
- putlocker.digital
- watchseries.bar
Although the order names these 16 domains, they are already being replicated across the internet, so a simple DNS block does not prevent access.
How Canadian ISPs Are Handling the Block
TekSavvy is redirecting the blocked addresses to a rightsholder notice page and posting status updates on its internet‑filtering portal. Although it has not challenged the order, the company warns that such blocking threatens network neutrality.
This is not a new tactic in Canada. The country has previously used court orders to block IPTV streams during NHL games and enacted Bill C‑11, prompting services such as NordVPN and DuckDuckGo to consider pulling out of the market.
Final Thoughts from Troy
The pre‑emptive nature of the order—approving blocks on sites that have not yet been launched—suggests the studios expect the listed domains to become obsolete within months. Canadian consumers who relied on those portals should switch to legitimate live‑TV services instead of chasing ever‑changing mirrors.
Offering affordable, bundled packages could reduce piracy more effectively than filing another lawsuit, and it would be encouraging to see a media company give it a try.
