I'll leave the image there as a link.

I'm fine at present, and a few lads have confirmed it works for them, yet others are saying blocked.

I would have thought that it would be big news if true. I know UPC in like Holland has had to comply with a blocking rquest or something, but didn't hear anything for here.

I would have thought it would be all over silicon Republic and the likes if there was a judgment.

I'm getting blocked too by the main address but if I Google piratebay and not click the website heading but rather browse music or browse torrents I can gain access.Strangely enough I can access piratebay on other devices in my house.But yeah this message is alarming.I like to see piratebay as a metaphor for freedom of internet.

Still works for me. But the page load time is dog slow.

Alun · 23-10-2012, 16:04

Working fine here on UPC.

kaimera · 23-10-2012, 16:52

fine here

zero19 · 23-10-2012, 16:54

Working for me too...

***Sparky*** · 23-10-2012, 17:50

Works fine here.

How many people that see it blocked are using UPC's nameservers?

I use UPC's DNS servers and I'm not blocked.

BTW I do this mainly because using Google or OpenDNS screws with sites that use Akamai.

Looks like they are getting ready for the inevitable :-(

N64 · 23-10-2012, 20:50

Plenty ways around it. Nothing to be concerned about at all, even if they do decide to block it.
