The article is a little wide-eyed about how new this kind of censorship is.

Belgium broadly has a duopoly, with the first two ISPs listed having the vast majority of the market. Both of them have been doing blocking of pirate sites for decades, with at least one of them actually resolving + blocking by IP address, not just DNS blocking.

Needless to say, both have video on demand services to protect.
