Today we learned that we're being blocked - again! Yawn. When will they give up - we're still growing despite (or perhaps because) all their efforts.
So, if you live in Belgium (or maybe work at the European Union Parliament, we have thousands of visits from them every day) you should change your DNS in order to circumvent the blockage. You should do this anyhow - never trust your ISP.
There are some options! One is Googles DNS system. It is fast but run by an american company. Using this one is fun, because it probably makes Google semi-responsible for you accessing TPB in the future according to what we understand from this strange Belgian ruling! Click here to read how to do this.
You can also use OpenDNS, which is another great option! Click here for information on how to change DNS on your computer to OpenDNS, and here for info on how to change on your router.
And if you're tired of your ISP playing tricks on you, you can always just get a VPN. We're running our own VPN system and we never back down for idiocracy. This also lets you access the full internet freely where ever you areā¦

thepiratebay.org itself isn't going down, it's just that BREIN won a court case forcing providers to start blocking the website. The fight is not over yet though.

That's like saying we all support freedom of speech just so that we can can say fuck off to others.
A free, uncensored internet is one of the most important things to maintain in today's society.

I've downloaded lots of patches, free programs, mods, drivers and Linux distros which were all legal.
indeed, not everything on tpb is illegal.
oh and Minky, you should watch some anti-sopa video's on youtube. You'll understand fast enough why people fight for free internet.

I know why it's bad I'm not stupid, and I'm well aware of the SOPA situation I was saying that really the majority of tpb IS illegal, and people act like they don't want it blocked for a different reason. I didnt word what I was saying very well,
I'm not saying I agree with it at all, I completely support with an open internet. The industry needs to change AROUND the internet and illegal downloading, not try and change the internet,
Its especially bad that they try things like SOPA, weeks after announcing that open access to the internet has been made a human right..

I see that Wikipedia is going to black out tonight to protest the stop online piracy act, SOPA.
That made me think.. if downloading stuff would be more difficult or even impossible, that would drive a wider gap between the poor and the rich. A poor boy like myself would never again be able to see a movie, play a videogame or listen to some music, unless they are invited by a friend who has the wealth to actually buy these things in a store. At school, you can't talk about all that stuff anymore, so the poor become even greater social outcasts. This will all result in more poverty, criminal behaviour and riots. With the financial and political crisis already going on, this could very well mean the end of mankind as we know it.

SOPA's shelved. PIPA is the deal at the moment.
The problem I have with this is a court is able to decide that our Internet is to be cencored. In my opinion this is too much power for a court and therefor this should only be possible by an act of parliament.
New article in our constitution, anyone?

I don't have the provider which will block TPB, but if I had I would still going to use it by bypass the block (which is quite easy from what I've heard). Illegal downloading will never stop, and BREIN will keep being retarded.
And I feel sorry for Tom Klijbroek.

They better block every file share site including rapidshare and other fileservers if they want to stop illegal downloading form happening, can't those bastards see that that is frigging impossible? and retarded.

They can, but they get millions of the record industry for arranging lawsuits like this. it's their way of making money.

Bah. They most likely can't. Half of the sods voting there don't even use the internet.
