Portugal prohibit internet access to piratebay, by decree of the tribunal of intellectual propriety, an organ of our national communication authority (both names are direct translation from portuguese).

And so, every internet supplier here have to foreclose/bar the access of 29 sites that give access to PB, in 30 days! If not, the suppliers will have a fee to pay, by day.

Well, today I still can go to PB, let's see in April 1 if I still can!

Many internet providers have acted similarly here in the UK.

Sorry about that!

I do not condone nor condemn piracy but I find it in bad taste unless you use it to get stuff not available in your country.

But banning sites outright reeks of China type censorship.

Maybe you should overthrow your government and join Spain, then invade France with American help. I'll text Obama and make it happen, I am waiting on your word.

Edit: Barry O said it was a go! Give him enough time to get that Israeli clown out the country first.

Yes, my point was more about trying or going to obstruct access of something. The rest we can debate on and on so on! The internet suppliers were defending against, but the copyright associations here push forward and won.
Funny thing also, last year, our goverment pass a law of a new tax of protecting copyright. So every cd/dvd/external drives or internal(usb, HDD, etc) have a few cents add to the price.
So, all the people here are considerate pirates

and if I buy a usb for backup of my own documents created by me, I have to pay that few cents of tax, just to appease the authors association's and others.

Sorry Soopaman, we are a kind of people that only want us ruling us! Last time spain was in charge and we rebelled, Catalonia did also, and the main government decided to keep the last and let go the first.

One of the things I think noteworthy though, is that The Pirate Bay also hosts plenty of legal things too, where the IP owner specifically releases things, such as music, games, films, cartoons, etc. on TPB (that's the proper acronym btw), to generate interest in their product. This effect has also happened with pirated material too, particularly with certain indi titles, to the point where some indi devs intentionally release a 'pirate' copy onto a site like TPB to try to generate more sales when people see how good their game is. (Note: I am not saying that piracy is right here, I am saying that IP owners are notorious for grossly overestimating the damage caused).

I believe my ISP in Canada (the big R) tried several years ago to remove access to sites like TPB, along with crack/serial sites and others that it didn't consider 'appropriate'. Unfortunately (or fortunately) they did it the lazy way, by just removing the sites from their DNS server. It took me about 2 minutes to find a new DNS server that didn't censor my internet (I don't like companies telling me what I can and cannot do).

Not to mention Microsoft had/has the mentality of "If your gonna pirate our stuff, at least do it from us." Which they actually use a marketing tactic.

but 8 yr old children can still access all shades and varieties of porn though no doubt

Dowly · 03-04-15, 01:28 PM

They can also play violent video games and watch violent movies, unless their parents restrict their access to such material.

NeonSamurai · 03-04-15, 02:16 PM

Though it can be tough for parents to do just that. Kids tend to be more technologically sophisticated than their parents.
