Torrent forced offline following UK police request

So this is what they're wasting our taxes on since shutting loads of stations down.

There are always ways and means to get around these little blockages :D

wait... if they are trying to bring down sites that provide or link to pirated content...

when are they gonna shut down youtube?

It's ok for them cause they are part of 'the gang'


The internet is becoming : facebook, youtube, twitter, Google, etc...

Less little guys = less competition for traffic/revenue and easier to watch our every move.

For how long though?

They are shutting stations AND actually reducing personnel? They aren't just giving them new fancy names like TSA in bigger offices somewhere else?

From link :

''Update: The Torrentz.eu domain has apparently now been unsuspended by its Poland-based registrar Nazwa, based on Torrentz’ legal team’s assertions that the original take-down was “unlawful”.''

There are dozens if not hundreds of way to get around internet blocks.

The day The Pirate Bay was blocked did not affect me in the least. I use it still to this day, along with EZTV and any other torrent sites I wish to browse.

Our intellectually deficient politicians just can't seem to get their heads around what the internet actually is.

Always....lol


Someone will always open a torrent tracker or nzb indexer , there will always be different proxies to use , or even VPN's to to hide your traffic , there will always be a way ...

Remember when napster went down ? Everyone thought 'free' stuff had ended....well that was over 10 years ago , new technology and methods will always beat the ISP's and Govs , they are too slow at implementing blocks...by the time they have , people have moved to other means....

Coming from a 'pirate' the only way to beat us , is to make the product more accessible from the start ie , make spotify/ netflix / hulu /amazon /bbc /sky /etc /etc content accessable world wide , as soon as realised /aired..at a reasonable price...

Then people will think again...

^ Precisely.

I only watch a handful of shows, why should I sign up to Sky for £90 a month just to watch Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead?

If these were offered on an episode or season pass on demand basis, I would be more than happy to pay but Old Media is still wrapped up in its packaging obsession.
