More knee-jerk madness folks.
http://www.slyck.com/story1739_ISPs_block_The_Pirate_Bay_in_ItalyToday, a blog post by spokesman Peter Sunde reports that The Pirate Bay has been blocked by all major ISPs in Italy.
"We have already changed IP for the website - that makes it work for half the ISPs again. And we want you all to inform your italian friends to switch their DNS to OpenDNS so they can bypass their ISPs filters. This will also let them bypass the other filters installed by the Italian government, as a bonus. And for the meanwhile - Labaia.org works (La Baia means The Bay in Italian)," the news post reads on The Pirate Bay.
This BitTorrent tracker may not be the largest, but it's the most hostile towards anyone that stands in its way. A quick look at their responses to copyright violation notices gives a good impression of where their philosophy comes from. So this latest incident with Italian ISPs only adds more fuel to the fire.
Cheers Tom
I,m sure no one here who uses "the bay" for their Linux downloads etc will be inconvenienced for long.
