Block Gambling Sites For Free

    Nothing is truly blocked online if you have a VPN or just add the word 'proxy' to the search term.
    The UK ISP's simply stopped bothering contesting these blocking orders years ago so the copyright holders only have to trot up to court with the latest list and they're immediately granted.

    Am quite shocked by how many websites have been blocked by Virgin, so much for Internet Freedom

    Utterly meaningless and child's play to get round.
    I don't know why they bother, tbh.

    This si the tip of the iceberg - remember the Government is seriously considering bringing in age checks for 'adult material' websites. Websites that don't have age checks would then get blocked.

    yet I'm on Virgin and I can still get to The Pirate Bay, which shows just how out of touch the BPI are and how pointless it is. If they invested more time into content creation and making systems better and more accessible to people, getting rid of silly restrictions on legally purchased content and different release dates per region etc then people would have less reason to go to these sites, however it is sometimes easier to get content via those sites because the official sites don't let you view the content in your region because of release dates, or charge silly amounts and put silly restrictions in place to get the content legally and then put it on your devices.

    Thing is, the original pirate bay .org URL is up and working at the moment as well, so it makes all of this even more ridiculous.

    I like that list, it's given me a couple of extra sites to try out that I'd never heard of before.

    Not on Virgin it's not and they anti-piracy groups are only concentrating on the big ISPs, maybe you're not on Virgin or BT etc.

    Opera has a built in VPN

    Something that has been quite handy this past week, it has turned a slow work connection from being 'wanting to pull your own teeth slow' to 'wanting to punch the screen' slow.

    I'm with talktalk and can access probably the biggest pirate site directly from it's main domain.
    Regarding letters how is going work exactly am I going get letter for every episode I download of torrents sites ?
    At worst people will just move to VPN's or downloading from sites like mega etc.

    Probably more than that later on. Surely the entertainment industry can't have missed that soon the UK will have records of all the internet addresses people are visiting? How long before they get on 'the list' of organisations who get access to it?
    While they won't be able to prove you downloaded anything from those sites by this alone, I'm sure the extortion letter they'll send to people will rake in the sort of money that would make other organised crime syndicates jealous.

    Nobody cares dude, I have torrented my ass without VPN for nearly a decade and diddly squat.

    I didn't realise people still used P2P.
