UK Pirate Bay Block Backfires, Easy To Get AroundBrit Dee, Contributor If like me youre one of Skys four million UK broadband customers, yesterday youll have found that you were unable to access legendary filesharing site The Pirate Bay. Thats because theyve blocked it following a court order obtained by BPI, the record industry trade association. Skys block follows Virgin Medias and Everything Everywheres earlier this month, with O2 having until June 13th to deny their customers access to the site, and TalkTalk and BT likely to follow shortly after. Unfortunately for the big corporations who are trying to censor the Web, the recent blocks seem only to have increased The Pirate Bays popularity. Thanks to the High Court and the fact that the news was on the BBC, we had 12 million more visitors yesterday than we had ever had beforeWe should write a thank you note to the BPI (British Phonographic Industry). Anyone wanting to access the site can do so by using a proxy general proxies can be found by simply searching for proxy server or visiting the dedicated TPB proxy set up by Pirate Party UK. Happy seafaring, me hearties.
