btw while tpb's block took half a year, this took no time at all. the precedent has been set, and it's not a very nice precedent if it extends beyond pirating.

Dunno about you, but I can still access tpb just fine.

only through proxies for me. i don't really think old men in suits could actually stop pirates. i just don't like the implications of people choosing what information i am and am not allowed to access online.

kat still opens for me too but last time when tpb was blocked o2 spent about a month putting the block into effect. don't know who you're with but i imagine different providers will take different lengths of time to put up the block.

Well I suppose they'll be blocking access to Ebay soon too because of all the copyright infringing and counterfeit goods on there... Right?

What I don't understand is it takes seconds in Google to find loads of sites sharing copyright material, yet it's taken years for just a handful of sites to be shut down or blocked?

I think this is just an indication about how clueless those campaigning for the blocks are. It seems that they think shutting down 1 or 2 main sites will end piracy whereas in reality 10 more will pop up to replace them in no time at all.
