Grazie ad un tweet di Niki, scopro stamattina che The Pirate Bay, il popolare tracker BitTorrent, è stato bloccato dagli ISP italiani.
Scrive TorrentFreak:

The Pirate Bay has been “censored” in Italy following an urgent decree from a deputy public prosecutor. Pirate Bay’s IPs and the domain name are inaccessible, as they are blocked by ISPs all over the country. Whether these blocks will be very effective, however, is doubtful, since The Pirate Bay has already announced several countermeasures.

La risposta della Baia non si è fatta attendere:

We have had fights previously in Italy, recently with our successful art installation where we had to storm Fortezza in order to get our art done. And as usual, we won. We will also win this time.
We have already changed IP for the website – that makes it work for half the ISPs again. And we want you all to inform your italian friends to switch their DNS to OpenDNS so they can bypass their ISPs filters. This will also let them bypass the other filters installed by the Italian government, as a bonus. And for the meanwhile – http://labaia.org works (La Baia means The Bay in Italian).

Al momento, nessuno dei principali siti di informazione italiani riporta la notizia.
