UK to crack down on torrent sites.

[Samdb]

I really hope this triggers a V For Vendetta situation to really show the government what they are doing is wrong for internet users.

Why does everyone admire guy fawkes ? he was trying to reastablish  the catholic church in england, you know doing the very opposite thing that we all believe he did.

they've already banned pirate bay in this exact way. however if i type "pirate bay proxy list" i get a list of 100 proxy's that all work perfectly. moral of the storey, you can't censor the internet.

Precisely.

Just to keep score, UK has no porn, forums, whatever else the filter blocks, aaaaaaaaaand no torrents.

Sure it doesn't...

[Langdon]

Oh, government. People who don't know about the internet should not try to control it, they're gaining nothing from this.

Yet another step to a failed blacklist. So like Logan said they might use the failed blacklist as an excuse for a whitelist. Or they really are just this stupid...

If they don't want people to torrent things, lower prices and make it easier for us to watch the shows we want to watch whenever we want, and don't charge 60$ for a box season of a show we're only going to watch once or twice.  Problem solved.

There is no reason programs like sony vegas and crap like that should be upwards of 600$ and sometimes 1,000$.  Netflix is a wonderful service, yet tons of companies keep removing their shows/movies from them because they're losing money or some crap. I really doubt that these companies that make billions of dollars a year are losing much revenue from having their shows on netflix/other streaming services. 

 

I think somewhere in one of Logan's videos he mentioned warner bros or something removing all their shows or something bla bla

 

If anything it benefits them, because the better shows they make and the more people watch them, the more their name gets out there and the more advertisers want to shower them with $$

What if it costs the 5 million to make that show? Then there are some problems with that... Then again, actors don't need to be paid millions. That's a waste

Even if I lived in the UK this wouldn't affect me because I don't pirate many things, and if I absolutely have to I use Usenet

Usually the only times I torrent things is if ;

 

a: I really enjoy the show and can't find the episodes on demand or on netflix, or I'm only going to watch the series once and then delete it.

 

b: I can't afford the software

 

Idk about others who torrent, but yea :q

This is a massive problem and really need to be addressed.

Soon enough there won't be any homepages anymore in the UK after they shut down porn and stolen software

Google? Must be porn.

[Hazy125]

Might ban it because it links to porn. Then the world is well and truly screwed

The way they see it is that everybody is torrenting their product, so they increase the price to compensate, but it just drives more people to torrent it.

[LT Smith]

lol another failed attempt to police the internet...

i feel ashamed to live in the uk lmao

[Hazy125]

How does the UK block stuff, is all DNS?

[Samdb]

Yes, I think so.

[Hazy125]

Yes, I think so.

Wow... And the UK really thinks that they can stop that?

[Deus Ragno]

Realistically this is like trying to empty the ocean with a bucket. At very best it's an extravagant waste of money.
