Technical people believe they can do this (block website Pirate Bay) overnight. It's an illegal business model and we need to make sure we protect customers from illegal business models.

What a load of bollocks.

What a wank.

Is there anything like this on TOR yet?, if not why not?

I'm not worried...they can't stop viruses. So how are they gonna stop the computer geeks from changing the format and bringing out another option.

The Govts can't win this fight, they're outnumbered & outsmarted @ every turn.

I hate how they decide we the people need protection from, in this case, access to data.
Maybe the could fuck off and charge us less tax instead.

meh. what does pirate bay have that 10^4 other sites don't?

[myco]

I'm sure pirate bay will be bak up an running in no time

They always are it's not the first time they've had trouble with the law

And like qualia said there's always gonna be other sites

the pirate bay is always the first place I go for torrents
And when it's down which it has been on and off a lot lately
I just use kick ass torrents

Hah!
