    I think it is stupid that an Irish court can do this. They don't run the internet.

    This is what we see when we try to go to the pirate bay in Holland with UPC.

    https://www.upc.nl/blokkades/2099/20990480.html

    It was so long since I used the original site i'd forgotten what it was and had to google it.

    Shed load of proxies out there anyway.
