The Pirate Bay Blocked by Sonera in Finland

Herr-Berbunch · 07-31-12, 06:49 AM

I read it's mostly banned by UK ISPs too, although some such as BT aren't chasing the new IP addresses like some (Virgin).

Not that I ever use it.

Another ISP called DNA followed suit. It would be really nice if someone explained media corps and courts that this doesn't have much real effect. Almost always there is way circumvent this kind of blocks and when its not practical someone else will take closed pirate sites place. Its just same thing with child pornography - this kind of action just sweeps the problem under the rug out from public's eye. In background its just business as usual and has no significant effect.

It wasn't very effective over there.

A lot of good that did.

The first 2 days of blocking saw TPB traffic from the UK drop by 20%, it's now, thanks to so many proxy sites, back to full traffic.

Yeah, I've used & use it. Heck I think we even had GWX available through TPB or Demonoid at one point. Delusional authorities still believe that cutting off supply will cure 'pirating', it won't.

It was the goat porn that did it for me.
