In theory.
In practice though it requires the co-operation of the country that it's hosted in, and just ask the MPAA and RIAA how co-operative other countries are at shutting down copyright infringing services. There are many countries that just sit there and stick two fingers up at the requests and let them carry on regardless. It'll take an extensive court battle to get some countries ISPs to take a site offline (just look at the pirate bay) and by then there will simply be another in it's place.
This is why the DE bill has the potential to enforce site blocking, so we can just get UK isps to block access to the sites without having to go through the hoops of getting them shut down.
