Some sort of Israeli TV pirate streaming service, got sued by Israeli production interests, in US federal court, resulting in a federal judge issuing orders to every US ISP, even though they weren't party to the case.
Weird stuff, man.

Wow, not just ISPs. DNS registrars, VPN vendors, CDN providers, Paypal, other financial institutions... it's a blanket against the world from doing business or communicating with the defendants.

Judge is way overstepping his jurisdiction. Also, IMHO it's a 5th Amendment violation (the "Takings Clause") If I were an ISP outside the judge's district, I would not challenge the order I would just ignore it. If I were in the southern district of NY, I would challenge it.

Wouldn't the judge's minions be obliged to serve legal papers on each and every party affected? Sounds like a LOT of process servers would be needed.
The judge issued an order to parties not part of the legal action requiring action - possibly costly action - on their part . . . in effect, drafting them to do his dirty work. Sounds like it may be crossing the line into involuntary servitude.

Does this just amount to blocking a set of IP addresses and/or websites?

They made their ruling, now let's see them enforce it.
