Dr.Minky Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Today we learned that we're being blocked - again! Yawn. When will they give up - we're still growing despite (or perhaps because) all their efforts.So, if you live in Belgium (or maybe work at the European Union Parliament, we have thousands of visits from them every day) you should change your DNS in order to circumvent the blockage. You should do this anyhow - never trust your ISP.There are some options! One is Googles DNS system. It is fast but run by an american company. Using this one is fun, because it probably makes Google semi-responsible for you accessing TPB in the future according to what we understand from this strange Belgian ruling! Click here to read how to do this.You can also use OpenDNS, which is another great option! Click here for information on how to change DNS on your computer to OpenDNS, and here for info on how to change on your router.And if you're tired of your ISP playing tricks on you, you can always just get a VPN. We're running our own VPN system and we never back down for idiocracy. This also lets you access the full internet freely where ever you are…Fear not, Heres the blog for the links so you can get around it http://thepiratebay.org/blog/195?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitteralso, http://torrentfreak.com/belgian-isps-ordered-to-block-the-pirate-bay-111004/ Edited January 11, 2012 by Dr.Minky Quote
Tom Klijbroek Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Oh no.. if PB goes down.. we have to go back to using Napster Ywa 1 Quote

What the fukc is happening to our tolerant non censor country?thepiratebay.org itself isn't going down, it's just that BREIN won a court case forcing providers to start blocking the website. The fight is not over yet though. Quote

You'll understand fast enough why people fight for free internet. Quote
Dr.Minky Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I know why it's bad I'm not stupid, and I'm well aware of the SOPA situation I was saying that really the majority of tpb IS illegal, and people act like they don't want it blocked for a different reason. I didnt word what I was saying very well,I'm not saying I agree with it at all, I completely support with an open internet. The industry needs to change AROUND the internet and illegal downloading, not try and change the internet,Its especially bad that they try things like SOPA, weeks after announcing that open access to the internet has been made a human right.. Edited January 12, 2012 by Dr.Minky Quote
Tom Klijbroek Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I see that Wikipedia is going to black out tonight to protest the stop online piracy act, SOPA.That made me think.. if downloading stuff would be more difficult or even impossible, that would drive a wider gap between the poor and the rich. A poor boy like myself would never again be able to see a movie, play a videogame or listen to some music, unless they are invited by a friend who has the wealth to actually buy these things in a store. At school, you can't talk about all that stuff anymore, so the poor become even greater social outcasts. This will all result in more poverty, criminal behaviour and riots. With the financial and political crisis already going on, this could very well mean the end of mankind as we know it. Quote
Navo Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) SOPA's shelved. PIPA is the deal at the moment.The problem I have with this is a court is able to decide that our Internet is to be cencored. In my opinion this is too much power for a court and therefor this should only be possible by an act of parliament.New article in our constitution, anyone? Edited January 17, 2012 by Navo Quote
Mathematic Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I don't have the provider which will block TPB, but if I had I would still going to use it by bypass the block (which is quite easy from what I've heard). Illegal downloading will never stop, and BREIN will keep being retarded.And I feel sorry for Tom Klijbroek. Quote
MrZunz Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 They better block every file share site including rapidshare and other fileservers if they want to stop illegal downloading form happening, can't those bastards see that that is frigging impossible? and retarded. Quote

They most likely can't. Half of the sods voting there don't even use the internet. Quote
BlueYoshi97 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 LOOK AT YOU RETARDS ALL RAGING AND SHIT, JUST GO TO ANOTHER TORRENT-SITE AND LET BREIN DO THEIR MOTHERFUCKING THANG! THEY AREN'T GOING TO TAKE OVER THE FUNKY-ASS INTERNET, YOU BUNCH OF RAGGEDY-ASS HYPOCRITES. Quote
Tom Klijbroek Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Wikipedia is not protesting that lousy Brein or Tim Kuik you raging schizophrenic. There are bigger powers at work here. Quote

Mayco Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 BlueYoshi, like I suggested on IRC, it's probably best for you not to comment on this matter because you seem to be missing the point.Although it's not related to the BREIN situation, I hope Wikipedia's action gets some results. There are other sites that will go black as well, but they said they'd go down for 150 seconds (last time I read), which is not very impressive. My ISP's downtimes are longer than that.Anyway, it's good that both Ziggo and XS4ALL decided to go to high court, though I don't have very high hopes for them. Though the fact that the PVV is also questioning the ban is a good thing, even if it's just publicity to get more voters. I pretty much disagree with the PVV on everything, but I do hope that in this case they make an impression on the court. Quote
Luke Nukem Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 At the end of the day none of us here on Left4Green can do naff all about it. So all just calm your little asses down Quote
