5 ISPs ordered to block The Pirate Bay
 

hide yo' vids, hide yo' wifi

:(

I hope Demonoid doesn't go next.

isoHunt >>>

:sad:

:eek:

This is another blow.

URGH fgs they need to stop, the world is ending :(
Besides this wtf has happened to mediafire? I mean the site is still there but its incredibly hard to find songs/albums on there now whereas before it was so easy :suspect:

It's fine for me [MF] but they have a pretty quick response time to taking down links. Just have to be quick I guess :p

LOL Good.
I hate Torrent Snobs who download stuff that you can watch online anyway.

Awful news, it is the only one I use.

But this only mentions music an stuff, will films and TV episodes be blocked aswell?

if the site's blocked in the UK then I guess :p

I think they plan to block the whole site, use isohunt.

i use isohunt :amazed:

:worship::worship::worship:

That would be no biggy just use the ip address instead to circumvent any block.
put 194.71.107.15 into your browser instead :)

Or install the TOR onion browser which uses a free vpn service and unblocks any blocked sites (and encrypts all data transmissions)
https://www.torproject.org/

or you could just change your DNS settings to use Google DNS OR Open DNS that would unblock it and only takes 30 seconds to do.

They have been about to shut the pirate bay down since the day it launched yet its still there. I wouldnt sweat it. :hugesmile:

Its been blocked over here for a while now
if you try use it from ireland this comes up

does putting the ip adress into the browser bypass it for you?

no it dosnt:(

oh that sucks they usually just delete the entry from the dns server when they block and the ip adresss still works.

The TOR browser would work though.

Oh no. :(

I don't use this regularly, but I'm becoming progressively more worried now that the torrent sites are starting to go down. http://i.imgur.com/QizyP.gif

It still works here
and it redirects to piratebay.se if i type .org

Crap!

isohunt, torrentday and demonoid are all better anyway.

By the way the pirate bay could never go the way of megaupload as the usa have absolutely no jurisdiction to claim a .se domain name they can only shut down .com and in some cases .org domains

Plus there are already other plans in place incase the long long long long long and very expensive attempt to shut down torrent sites was ever successful there is another platform for sharing files ready to run that would involve another long long long long long and very expensive process to shut down :)

You cant put the genie back in the bottle and unless the big record/movie companys catch up they will cease to exist although new movies and music will continue to thrive.

yeah, we can't get onto Pirate bay if we have eircom as your internet provider, which most people have
