Eircom customers were greeted to a rude reality yesterday morning as the ISP formally began blocking access to Swedish BitTorrent tracker site The Pirate Bay, its related domain names, IP addresses and URLs.

The move is a result of a settlement reached between it and the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) who accused the ISP in court of not doing enough to combat copyright infringement by its subscribers.
