The Lithuanian Radio and Television Commission (LRTK) has decided to block access to seven sites redistributing TV content illegally.
In a statement, it says that the managers of the sites in question – www.interntv.ru, www.tivix.co, www.tv-one.org, www.piranya.com, www.vefire.ru, www.tvradio.biz, www.tvtvtv.ru – failed to notify the regulator of their intention to distribute such content and therefore contravened the Law on Public Information.
LRTK adds that it has acted within its rights to block the sites prior to the permission of the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court.
This was in due course granted to LRTK on June 7.
