Well, my dad knows very little about computers, but does use piratebay a lot, he's already figured out how to get around it with a quick google search.

:rolleyes:

(I should've added, he's nearly 70 years old and only started using computers at 65ish :P)

"A sixth operator, BT, has been given extra time to make the necessary arrangements. It is expected to act within the next fortnight."

Yes. So they claim. Doesn't mean it's true and that they will get away with asking.

At this rate it'll take me minus a month or more to get around it

Since BT haven't even implemented the block yet.

Beat that.

Actually, I think it shows an example of a media company / YouTube bot being over-zealous - not sure it proves anything (any more than some one providing an example of a downloader burning stuff to discs and selling them at a car boot sale 'proves' all downloaders do that....).

Has he thought of contacting NBC/Google, or would he rather just be a drama queen?

Guess you've totally missed the point then.

I couldn't find it, I only did a quick look through my history, but I saw something this week where some 'partner' of a major studio was actually issuing takedown notices for a film the studio they were working on behalf of were trying to promote.
