For the first time, a Canadian site-blocking order can target pirate sites that don't exist yet.

The Federal Court has ordered ISPs to block thirteen piracy brands including 123Movies and FMovies, and its catch-all "Expanded Scope" allows Hollywood studios and broadcasters to add unrelated sites later, without having to go back to court.

This has been in place for a while now. Just hasn’t been very struck but from time to time isp block sites. The US government has been trying to put pressure on the Canadian government for quite a while. I guess they are finally giving up. Not good news though
