    Whatever your preferred site that is now blocked, just put the name of it into google along with "proxy" and leech away to your little pirate heart's content :D

    Ironically it's only the biggest 3 or 5 ISP's that are obliged to block.

    Small and commercial providers (a bit like mine) still have unrestricted access.. which makes no real sense.

    Why wouldn't the court orders apply to all ISP's in the UK?

    Change your DNS settings or just install pirate browser.

    They are not gone, just blocked and the blocks are piss easy to get around.

    Are you one of those types that goes into takeaway threads and says "just make your own, it's so much easier, cheaper and tastier!" too?

    Nope. I love takeaways but not so much that I'd take one away without paying for it :)

    Yes, but then you have Plusnet who, whilst owned by BT, are not under any legal obligation to block said sites (their words). Yet due to Plusnet's routing utilising BT infrastructure sometimes you get the odd page showing as blocked.

    Not many people suggest you order one and leave without paying though. ;-)

    I would complain that freeloaders mean that the rest of us end up paying more for our entertainment, but we all know that the reality is that without freeloaders we'd probably be charged even more.

    Well that was deliberately skirting the point but it was chuckleworthy so there's that.

    That's almost as traditional as Keio's "the golden age of piracy comes to a close" posts in threads like these :)

    Anyway, the game of whack-a-mole with all of these torrent sites will continue until the end of time because nobody really seems to understand or appreciate how to legally deliver content to people when they want it.

    they don't force you to do anything - 99% of those "direct download" links are advertising. install some for of adblocking software and try again.

    I wonder how long it'll be before we're able to legally stream 54.0Mbps full HD video with TrueHD 7.1 sound?

    If they invested the money they waste on legal action in to the infrastructure to do just that, probably sooner rather than later.

    But then catering to audiophiles and PQ-philes isn't really the way to go - i'd say the majority of people would be happy to stream "regular" HD with decent quality sound if it meant getting content sooner - and cheaper.

    Part of the problem in this country at least is Sky's stranglehold on the film studios. It doesn't give Netflix and Amazon a chance to get new releases any sooner.

    Which is fine, as long as the thing you're looking for is available for sale somewhere.

    Just another thought.

    I use TalkTalk who have blocked so many sites, but Chrome have a great app called Zenmate which means I can use any site that I did before the block :)
