I myself find it pointless. A large number of people will easily find a way to bypass the restriction. What do you think?Quote:

wat. nuuuuuuuuuuu
NO! i love pirate by i live in new york but still...
You can bypass that so fast it's ridicules, and a completely pointless ruling.
Easy to get around, who cares. It'll help keep the dumbasses off the site.
Yah I find it useless we can easily manipulate IP's and show that our IP is from another location :thumbup:Quote:

This may not be as big as PIPA or ACTA but this is the way I see it.
Its a move that your Government can say "Hey, we can actually do this!".
In regards to Bypass, Even almost 99% of people today uses internet but I am certain 50% of it does not know how to use proxy.
ThePirateBay is already blocked in Holland / The Netherlands.
So i guess it will go on to other country's yes,
Greetz,
make it 80%.
Completely true. The fact they can go in and order this really is disturbing.Quote:

Even it's pointless it's still happening. It's just another step towards an ever growing trend.
It's been in effect for a while now in the Netherlands, guess what, more has been downloaded since. What happened is that it got so much attention, that more and more people became interested in it and started to use it. It's basically free advertising.Quote:

Its the exact same with Piratebay, they support the links but do not host any downloads, what so ever.
Welcome to the world, as we know it - free speech in America is going to the pits, and now the UK is ruling over the internet in their own area!
Completely pointless. Most people will just get around the block and besides there are loads of other sides to illegally download files, the pirate bay isn't gonna stop many people.
There will always be a way to reach thepiratebay even if it is blocked, or you're just lucky and have a provider that hasn't blocked it.
Piratebay will just post up another proxy site with direct links to their site. It only takes them a few hours to do it - they have done it before. Since all pirate bay is, is just a public forum.. it just has to relocate its IP to a new one... and there is no way to stop that!
Government will do whatever they please.
We will soon witness the disappearance of the free Internet... It's inevitable.
This is just the beginning.Controling our internet usage,soon after that they will start to control our life ,what we eat,what we wear.It will look like in the movie V.
Honestly the Government can do as they please, I see no issues what so ever. This will only spring more hackers attacking the government as well as spring new developers to work around it. All the Government is doing is starting a new war they can't win. It's impossible to control what every user does.
wow stop saying it will have no affect on people who acess the site.. firstly 80% of people won't know how to proxy or be bothered, some struggle with opening torrents - as for the remaining 20% who manage to access the site, seeders will dramatically fall, thus making it much less desirable to illegally download.. This act from the UK definitely will have an impact.. And to those who say piratebay will just create a proxy site, I'm sure those proxy sites will keep getting blocked by ISP's too otherwise it would be just too easy, the UK government aren't stupid you know.

Free proxies sucks, and some people such as myself knows how to use proxies but can't buy one ... I think I might be in trouble, I have like probably 100gb downloaded content on piratebay xD
