And ironically enough, the court-ordered block of The Pirate Bay just went into effect in The Netherlands as well (For Ziggo, at least; XS4ALL follows tomorrow)

- hobin 15y agoThe TPB blockage is not about the government, but about the record companies protecting their interests (read: screwing pretty much everyone else over). Arguably, net neutrality is about the government 'taking control' over the internet, but I don't think what's being done here is necessarily a bad thing. Here, the government is clearly protecting the freedom of the people. And yes, that means there is a little less freedom for the big companies. I'm fine with that.
