A Canadian Federal Court judge has signed a site blocking order that covers pirate sites which haven’t even launched yet.
Justice Richard Southcott signed it on July 3, 2026, in case T-1127-26, backing Rogers, Disney, Netflix, Paramount, Universal, and Warner Bros. Eight providers carry it out for two years, including Bell, Telus, TekSavvy, and Videotron.
Americans shouldn’t scroll past this one, because Hollywood is pushing for similar powers in the US.
Why the Scope of This Canadian Blocking Order Is Different
Past rulings locked onto a fixed list of domains, so a site that hopped to a new address sent the studios back to a judge. This one hands them a shortcut.
Applicants can file an amended schedule adding domains or IP addresses, and if no provider objects in the window the court set, those additions stick without a hearing. It also stretches past the 13 brands named to platforms running under names nobody has heard of yet.
I’ve watched this cycle for years, and a self-serve block button reads less like a fix than an admission the last few rulings failed.
List of Blocked Pirate Streaming Domains
Below are the 16 domains named in Schedule 1. You can view the full list here (PDF).
- 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
And ironically a Google search for one of these pirate site names returns several working clones, the same pattern behind the FMovies alternatives that surfaced after that shutdown.

How Canadian ISPs Are Handling the Block
TekSavvy is routing those addresses through DNS to a rightsholder notice page and posts updates on its internet filtering page. It didn’t fight this order, yet still calls blocking a serious breach of network neutrality.
None of this is new up north. Canada has gone down this road before, blocked IPTV during NHL games, and passed Bill C-11, which is why NordVPN and DuckDuckGo threatened to leave.
Final Thoughts from Troy
A ruling that pre-approves blocks on sites nobody has built yet tells you the studios expect Schedule 1 to be worthless within months. Canadians who leaned on these brands should move to verified live TV services rather than chase the next mirror.
Cheaper bundles would hurt piracy more than another court filing, and I’d love to see one media company test that.
