Belgian ISP Ordered to Block The Pirate Bay; Telecomix and TPB Offer Workarounds
bs0d3 writes "Today a court ruling in Belgium over-ruled an earlier court ruling and is ordering an ISP to block The Pirate Bay. It's been announced that the type of block to be used by the ISP is a simple DNS filter which is similar to ones used before in Denmark. In Denmark, the dns block was extremely easy to circumvent and the attention to The Pirate Bay actually increased Danish site traffic after the block. Today an hacktivist group called Telecomix; which is more recently known for helping to establish communications during the Internet blackout in Egypt, is offering their help. Their custom made 'censorship proof' DNS service is designed for situations just like this. ISP customers facing a block can simply use Telecomix's DNS server instead of the ISP provided one to access blocked sites such as The Pirate Bay."The Pirate Bay also has suggestions for getting around the DNS block.
