Why are they doing it? Premier League asked them to.

But the point is I am not using the Virgin Media network. Yet it still blocks it on my PC and adds a notification from Virgin.

I've tried several times just to experiment and get timed out on four different browsers. My ISP is Sky and I'm in Central England so it looks as though that site is being picked on by ISPs with interests in sports coverage. Bt will have joined in but maybe someone with TalkTalk could give it shot.
That said, with Court action pending they might all just agree to do it with waiting for an Order.

According to that link, it's not just Virgin.

the big few are all subject to blocks issued from the courts at the behest of big business. a lot of the smaller providers deliver there services through 3rd parties like ntl/telewest (re branded as virgin media) so they will be subject to any blocks the bigger company introduces. if your insistent on getting past them, then google is your friends... you need to look for phrases like proxy and vpn..

Freedom to SHOUT?
There is no more freedom on the Internet than anywhere else on the planet. Rules of decency and honesty are the same here as in any real-life environment. The difference is that many people believe they have the freedom to say what they like about anyone else but life isn't like that.
