Rome - The Pirate Bay, that "The Pirate Bay" which for years held in check the content industry is establishing itself as a major hub of the world peer-to- peer, is less easily accessible from Italy for many hours. According to the findings of fact, the connection to the Bay is the center of an investigation by the prosecutor of Bergamo.
As was the case in the past for child pornography websites, ISPs Italians were asked at this stage to inhibit access to the pages of the Bay: who typed the URL at this time http://thepiratebay.org/ not be able to access by traditional means of navigation to pages pirates. A block that was decided in the investigation are still pending against the joint Italian colombo-bt.
The Pirate Bay admin, always very active in fighting the attempts of black-this or that country, have already begun to react by setting up labaia.org, alternate access when working. As you know, the music industry, film and software for years denounced the activities of the Pirate Bay argued that those pages will facilitate the global sharing of material protected by copyright, traded without authorization. A charge that the Bay has never rejected, even more fed occasions.
Given the extraordinary importance of the pirate site of Swedish origin, one of the most visited websites in the world, the news of the blockade is bouncing a bit 'anywhere, the Bay has already announced that it also attempts an appeal against the decision of the GIP Bergamo. A Torrent Freak, the most famous of the Bay admin Peter Sunde said in recent hours that The Pirate Bay going to do everything possible to remain accessible to the Italians, and even encourages users to contact the Bay of the beautiful country where they intend to fight in terms of legal measures carried out by homegrown authorities.
As usual, brokep, does not mince words to attack. In a post published on labaia.org said: "We're used to the fact that there are fascist countries not allowing freedom of expression. Some smaller countries that have dictators decide to block our site because we can help spread information that they may be harmful." It adds: "We have already changed IP for the website, and this will allow access from the middle of the provider. We all push our Italian friends to change their DNS to OpenDNS so they can bypass the filters of the ISP. This also allows them to bypass other filters instalar by the Italian Government, as a bonus. "
Beyond the words, now opens in Italy a very serious game for those of The Pirate Bay but also for the millions of users who have hitherto been used freely for the first time that the Italian authorities block a site that is not "niche" but, in fact, among the most popular network. It will be seen: in the middle is the conflict between the evergreen counter-piracy and infringement of copyright laws, freedom of expression and freedom of publication and indexing of links.
