Its not a torrent website........ Its not a site you download anything...
THATS the point, why should I download If I can stream.
All of the content I watch is legally streamed..

err.. no
every streamed movie is stored as a complete movie file in a temp folder on your hard drive.
A stream is exactly the same as a download apart from it plays as soon as it can instead of waiting until it's 100% downloaded.

Regardless its not a site where you go to watch the latest CAMJOB of mavity.
Nearly all its content is old or currently aired tv shows.
Its not hosting anything at all.
Why defend them? you will only realise to late when they come and destroy something that you enjoy when its to late.
I hadn't thought that it might be BT blocking certain sites for me. I can't visit heinnie.com on IE or chrome, neither will display the page. Seems it must be a BT blocked thing as I just used a proxy site (hadn't thought to try this before) and it pops straight on up.
Is there a list of ISP's out there that don't filter sites?

I KNOW RIGHT??!?!?!?!?
Gosh BAN YOUTUBE aswell... BT.... half the content on there is not yet moderated and contains copyrighted material.
They wont ban them want to know why? because that will fracture there fragile rock and half there customers will come running to them with complaints.
Instead of doing it that way there going to do it the silent snakey way site by site untill there is nothing left.
It is? It is hosting the content it is serving. A torrent site hosts nothing but links to the content. I think you have your terminology a little confused.
yup it's a joke most of the films and series on youtube have been on there for months if not years.
but oh wait it's youtube and they would probably take anyone who blocked them to court
it's also full of grisly deaths etc not suitable for children but you can view them without even logging in...

The masses of this country choose to wilfully live in ignorance of there freedoms being stripped away from them atom by atom.
Its done in a way we don't notice, akin to a large mammal being eaten by piranhas bit by bit until its to late for us to do anything about it.
This is not soley in relation to my favourite site being blocked but issues across the board with our country and others.
I'm not defending them, I don't give a fluff what people do online.
I'm pointing out that you're downloading and breaking some copyright laws when you think you're innocent.

Against of for them?
They did not want to impose restrictions but the courts compelled them to.
Just doing 5 minutes of research it's pretty clear this is not a legal site, one which is backed and supported by the movie/television industry and pays the necessary royalties etc. Just because it happens to have content on it you can stream doesn't make it legal. You don't have a "freedom" or "right" to illegal content.

Indeed!!
Is this anything to do with the Virgin Media blocks as well? I was looking up a college web site and it gave me an error. Typed the error into Google, got lots of hits, but they're all blocked too. The IP addresses in the hit previews are all fairly similar, although when I click on a site, it shows my IP. Is this part of the VM block? A lot of schools and colleges in this list.

Yes, all the major ISPs took the law to court and lost.
