Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
I was a very regular reader but since leaving work I haven't had the same amount of spare time for that sort of thing so I can't read the whole lot like I used to.
There is an Android (and probably iPhone) app which lets you dip in and grab a few when you have the time to spare so I use that now.

Yes the ISP's are just puppets to the government wishes that's hows it's been; the government tells them to jump- the ISP's ask how high! Since if the ISP's what to operate in the EU which has been run by bankers from the start, you get no elected choice there/here....just do as they see fit. It's all the amount pound signs they can gather, not the peoples wishes/views...it's doesn't help with corrupt courts in the first place

Well it all down to how you see it, the reason in the first place for the push for the ban was media industry finding that PTB had better system from top to bottom plus revue market plan from the start. Basically you had two sides one that thrives on pure greed the other (PTB) had a fair balanced plan that works for both sides no one lost out - the modern media industry laugh at it; then found out otherwise very soon after even to this day for their earlier choice their revue model is still didn't work after all this time, more in the latter years !
On the other hand it's just as easy to bypass the block (PTB) just go to the pirate party web site > click on the proxy link (UK'rs) Do note no link posted, if anybody didn't know the link already

Good point, even it was good read as the ISP user admitted his own guilt to the CS rep in the phone, how low can one go, then again the ones that lose out others gain in there place. Where there one there will be much more mee thinks. (if the cap fits....wear it !)

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
An update.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19457334

One of the founders of the popular file-sharing Pirate Bay website, has been arrested in Cambodia, the local police have announced.
Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was held in Phnom Penh after an international warrant was issued against him in April by his native Sweden.
Sweden acted after he had failed to show up for the start of his one-year jail term for copyright violations

BTW i don't use the pirate bay as its an open tracker and there for insecure.

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
Having come back to this thread after a long break I find it interesting that so many people would seem to feel I would be in the right if I broke into their homes and stole their property. Taking something that isn't yours is THEFT in my book and there is no justification to prove otherwise.
