ISPs block The Pirate Bay in Italy


The Pirate Bay has encountered its fair share of challenges lately. Earlier this month, TPB experienced some downtime, thanks to the compounding effect of traffic and server upgrades. Today, a blog post by spokesman Peter Sunde reports that The Pirate Bay has been blocked by all major ISPs in Italy.

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 - labaia.org works (La Baia means The Bay in Italian).
