Good sides & Bad sides

Hey,

Of course those websites do offer a lot of illegal pirated copies and hacking work, sometimes even really bad pornography. But I, for example, have got very bad internet connection and Torrent downloads for freeware (non-pirated) software are a true blessing.

Also, talking effectiveness, it will just make it harder for people like me to access those sites, you can't remove a website like that. If you do it, then do it properly, and I bet they do not have the resources to do that, like it was done with other websites from which only old backups exist on the internet atm. I think it's good that they try to make sure that the internet becomes a fair marketplace, but if I would want to access illegal copies I could still do that, there are millions of huge websites which offer them, not that I would ever download a pirated copy of anything unless it's freeware anyways. I don't think that this will have any big effect, only good ol' grandma can't download her pirated copy of MW3 anymore. For anyone who has the time and the understanding to make a few searches on google, duckduckgo, bing (as if) or whatever else there is no real blockage possible.

The best example for that is WikiLeaks, which has gone a long way of literally bering raided by the US and pretty much every big company on earth; but guess what's still accessible, even trough a simple google search; WikiLeaks. Of course, for example KickAssTorrents has been downed, but even then, there are still copies of the whole website online, not that I would visit those, they're probably infected with all kinds of malware, maybe even AIDS, man, who knows.

I know it does not really come across like it, but I'm being serious. I think that blocking these Websites is b******t. Not only because I am using those more or less legally to improve download speed, but also because it does nothing really.

Have a nice day and stay warm everyone!
