hmmmm I can’t recall anytime in history something like that happened *cough* nazi’s *cough* china *cought* soviet russia *cough*

sorry had something in my throat.

Just one more way for the government to keep people in the dark and feed then bull crap like mushrooms.

Soon it will come to the point were any thing they don’t wont you to read will be blocked or burned. And any one how don’t fallow there rules will be labeled a terrorist.

It really is a sad state of affairs.

We have the same filter thing in Norway, and I hate everytime it blocks Flickr or any major web-hosting site because of one offending member. (They tend to block geocities.com when geocities.com/member3 is offending) – crappy filters….

… meh I’m sure they’ll find a loop hole and in a matter of a few days will be up and running again (or so I hope).

At the hearing a representative from the danish anti pirate group was one of the speakers. He told about the great success they had had in Denmark getting allofmp3.com blocked with the danish child pornography filter. He also advocated child pornography as the way to fight piracy, as the politicians understand child pornography better than copyright.

Coincidence? My guess is that somebody attending this hearing got “inspired” by this. Probably some anti piracy agency uploaded a torrent with child pornography disguised as something uninteresting (so nobody would look at it and report it to TPB, who immediately remove such torrents if they find out) and then reported them to the police.

The swedish police probably knows that this isn’t really about child pornography. In Sweden distribution of child pornography is a very serious offence. So the police would normally investigate and prosecute instead of silently putting TPB on a block list that is only updated a few times each month and normally is used for foreign child pornography sites only.
