Last week, we brought you the news that Village Roadshow was seeking to add 40 more sites to Australia’s anti-piracy block list. ISPs will now need to ban customers from accessing popular torrent and movie streaming sites that include ExtraTorrent, Demonoid, Torrent Downloads, TorrentProject, YTS, 123Movies, and Icefilms. Here is the full list of banned websites (and how to bypass the blocks).
Following the successful blocking (on paper at least) of The Pirate Bay, Torrentz, TorrentHound, IsoHunt and SolarMovies, Village Roadshow is stepping up its attack on copyright infringers. The latest hit list submitted to the courts contains dozens of domains belonging to some of the most popular torrent, streaming, and direct download sites on the internet.
Village Roadshow’s application to the courts is essentially a repeat of the previous one, but with new domain names. Once again, the movie company is requesting ISPs including Telstra, Optus, Vocus, TPG and their subsidiaries to implement the blocks.
Here’s the full list of blocked sites as reported by TorrentFreak:
- 123Movies
- Alluc
- Bitsnoop
- Couchtuner
- Demonoid
- Extra.to
- ExtraTorrent.cc
- EYNY
- EZTV
- FMovies
- GenVideos
- Hdmovieswatch
- Icefilms

As we’ve mentioned in the past, torrenting itself is completely legal and it’s not all that difficult to circumvent ISP blocking of torrent websites. Click here to find out how to circumvent the blocks.

Thank you Village Roadshow for introducing me to all these sites i never knew about!
Yep, I do hope the DNS server I use blocks them. I’d hate to stumble across any of this handy list of sites accidentally.
I am absolutely blown away by Village Roadshow’s “Dig up policy”.
I am absolutely blown away by Village Roadshow’s “Show us where to look for their shit”, Stupidity!
there are some major ones still missing from that list, google play, apple iTunes, amazon, Netflix, plus all the other streaming service that are still cheaper alternatives from them.
when will they get it through their thick skulls, they are to expensive, and until they make it cheaper people are going to keep going elsewhere to watch.
and what the hell is with this filtering BS, last time I checked this was Australia not China,
Hands up anyone who has even accessed any of these sights, let alone done so with their own IP Address? Which btw I plan on doing today, just to see what’s available. Thank you Village Roadshow 🙂
I’m surprised it took them this long to block Yify and YTS. Thanks for the list of other sites though haha.
Aaaand they’ve missed quite a few big names, like s***********e.sc
(Censored to prevent people from searching for it. Yes, that’s the wrong number of characters to prevent people from wildcarding it.)
Tell me you’ve got an invite to trade?
My private tracker isn’t on the list either.
They also missed ********.***.
Just posting this to let everyone know how cool I am too.
Man, I love that site. Has everything you need, and so many people willing to share how you can make $30,000 a day with 20 minutes work.
Maybe if Burke kept to his word and didn’t pull this delay nonsense he wouldn’t have to worry about piracy.
Oh wait; the problem with common sense is its not so common now.
this from the company holding back the batman lego movie who said last time we learnt our lesson and we wont do it again. Stop treating Australia like crap with release date
How can they block sites like Alluc — which is a stream search engine and doesn’t host anything?
And why do sites like YouTube get a free pass? There’s thousands of documentaries on there which are illegally uploaded, not to mention, most songs are too (if it’s not uploaded by the band, their label, etc, it’s more than likely an unauthorised upload.)
Because the lawmakers and courts have no idea how technology works. Same argument can be made against most torrent sites, there’s no copyrighted material hosted or available on them… They haven’t tried to block twitter either, from bots reposting magnet links for popular torrents…
Come on. You know the answer. $$$
I guess Village hasn’t heard of the Streisand effect.
John Wick 2……
need i say more?
it’s like treating the symptoms but not the cause?
Just get a VPN and get around the Blocks.
Very Easy
