Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn what a night! My birthday celebration was awesome! At first, I was bored at a pub, but as soon as we stepped into the club, I started dancing and jumping and dirty dancing and I don't know what else and had a time of my life. Although, I have to thank to everything I drank that night. Still dancing in my chair, I WANT MOOOOOOOOOOORE!

Dutch ISPs drop Pirate Bay blocks after court rules them 'ineffective'

The Netherlands has been at the forefront of battling online piracy through the enforcement of banning orders on internet service providers, and now the country's also leading the way in admitting that the strategy is not as effective as had been hoped. As Tweakers reports, a court in The Hague has ruled that blocks on The Pirate Bay have proven ineffectual in curbing P2P traffic and permitted local ISPs XS4ALL and Ziggo to lift their ban on the file-sharing website. A spokesperson for XS4ALL has told Tweakers that the block has now been removed, though it will take some time for the DNS changes to propagate fully.

Today's judgment marks a successful appeal from the Dutch ISPs against a lower court ruling in 2012 instructing them to block access to The Pirate Bay. Initiated by the local anti-piracy group BREIN, the original lawsuit was seen as a victory for intellectual property advocates and was accompanied by similar demands being put on UK ISPs. With today's reversal, BREIN will have to pay 326,000 euro in damages to the affected broadband providers. Other Dutch ISPs like UPC and KPN that weren't subject to this ruling are maintaining their blocks for now, but it seems like a foregone conclusion at this point that they'll be following suit.

HAIL TO THE TORRENTS!

It's more like hail to logic, to freedom, to liberty & to technology.

Once you invent something you can't uninvent it so they try to control it, thankfully with the power people have they can circumvent censorship and control and I'm all for it. People should support artists & content creators if they have the means but making a digital copy does not impose harm upon them. If it's in place of a sale then that is something else but I know for one there is tons of content I would never have known or purchased had I not had the opportunity torrenting has given me. In order to achieve sales you need to compete & torrenting services at best provide and ad-hoc unreliable way of getting content legal and illegal. What it does well is provide a channel to content free from DRM restrictions.

Something is seriously broken when you can get a better product from side channels than from the main source, better as defined by respecting user freedoms and controls. It's not such a problem for music as files sit there and the price has dropped to an acceptable level but in more comprehensive products there is still a litany of problems. They need to resolve them rather than look to impose ridiculous freedom restricting measures like this because where does it end? The West often criticises China but we're two faced about it, our own governments here do just the same thing.

Not confined to this software but are malicious copies so be careful where you pick the software up from. One of the advantages of Linux repositories and package signing I suppose.
