BN Goes Cold In Turkey

Bulls fans wanting to keep up with matters at Edgar Street during their holidays might want to avoid Turkey.

The country's archaic copyright laws has seen a court block access to Blogger, the site that Bulls News runs on, in the country after the TV rights holder for Turkish Superleague games lodged a complaint.

Digiturk claimed that several Blogger sites were hosting illegal coverage of games it had rights to, and a Diyarbakir court has blocked the site as a result. An estimated 600,000 blogs are kept by Turks, and over 18 million access the site on a regular basis.

Turkey has a history of over-reacting when it comes to websites. It banned Youtube for two years after videos claimed to be insulting to the country's founder were posted to the site.
