it worked here in Brazil against whatsapp.
there are lots of cases of this sort of tomfoolery "working"... in part or in whole. Lee's point is it's dumb to offload this problem on every ISP in the jurisdiction, AND it's also not going to really fix the problem if the application is accessible via 'vpn' services (tor, real-vpns, etc). it's just sort of dumb all the way around :(

you know, the Sci-Hub folk could fix this themselves... with some
authentication requirements... and probably by just unplugging from the intertubes?
"Sci-Hub’s founder, has previously told The Scientist the site plans to ignore the lawsuit.” How would Sci-Hub consider this a “fix”?
What enforcement mechanism would the Court have against Sci-Hub?
The idea of making third parties (ISPs) incur costs (updating ACLs or poisoning DNS) to enforce the order is pretty bad, and doesn’t stop Tor access. Sorry I didn’t have a chance to file an amicus before the ruling tomorrow.
