BBC is horrible for posting on GBAtemp. The text is split up into a million paragraphs and the articles are long (albeit more interesting) which puts people off reading it.

put some effort into your posts man, delete irrelevant text and bold that shit

Firefox with stealthy add-on. Problem sorted muwahahaha

Yeah, you got warned for suggesting people to use TPB - there's hundreds of better ones out there, suggesting TBP deserves a warn.

I once got a wanring about just mention TPB.
Not advicing, just say'd something about it and got a warning
Well TPB isn't nearly as good as IH.

And this is why you use private trackers.

AH Suckers.

"As a responsible ISP, Virgin Media..."

Yeah, depriving me of the internet I pay for at least once an hour is responsible.
In any case, there are better torrent sites to use than TPB. Would be interesting to see how people would react to this, at least.

What does it even matter? I mean, on the larger scale, yeah, it's one step further from us having any e-rights at all, but it's not like there aren't dozens of better torrent sites (which I obviously won't name), which aren't blocked by this ruling. I can't remember the last time I got a torrent or magnet link from TPB.

 

[Hielkenator]

nvm

 

[jalaneme]

meh i don't care, i haven't been on that website for ages, i use another private tracker anyway.

 

[Wabsta]

It's blocked for some (and probably all soon) ISP's in the Netherlands too. Not that it works, everyone knows how to use a proxy or other alternatives to reach thepiratebay.

Anyway, I use usenet, so I don't really care tbh..

(Also, making a service like netflix available would make me stop pirating most stuff. I don't mind paying money.. I haven't downloaded any music since Spotify, and I will stop pirating movies and series as soon as we have a service like netflix.)

Another attack on net swashbuckling by the British Crown. Arrgh, ladies and gentlemen... arrgh.

 

[Mantis41]

I only use it for TV downloads. There are plenty of other options.

Next thing you know, they'll be arresting people bypassing the block.

 

[Quietlyawesome94]

Private Trackers FTW. Next thing you know they'll be blocking all p2p traffic.

 

[Smuff]

The net will soon be completely owned by TimeWarnerSonyUniversal Inc, and they will begin applying their arse-raping pricing strategy to internet access - then you'll all start to care

Lol, I'm usually not really a Notch fan, but I like what he wrote. xP
Piracy might hurt some companies and stuff, but in most cases if people like something they'll eventually get it (which is my case, for games, manga and music).

Im curious about the list of countries that were blocked tho.

i use it to get 30 rock, modern family and new girl episodes, never really bothered about trying to find other (and possibly legal ways that allows me to watch it whenever i want on my computer) ways to get them.

this can be easily bypassed anyway, seedbox + VPN (seedboxes might provide VPNs) = hello tpb

I'm pretty sure you have to pay for those. Pirating is all about avoiding payment for goods/services.
