This annoys me that the government can just do this, but Australia hasn't had free internet since the 90's. While Europe and America have been fighting for their rights, Australia lost them long ago. Telecom companies are allow to charge us differently for different sites, they just don't. This is a government enforced block though... A pathetic one at that. A quick VPN will get past this measly wall, even rumours of a dns change will bypass it too. Make me wonder if they are just blocking the domain. Complete failure if they are.

Not blocked via dodo yet

It's usually blocked at a DNS level same as in the U.K. TBH anyone torrenting without a VPN is playing a dicey game anyway.

There used to be a big homeland security logo on it in the US.

Pay for a VPN. $15 a year is all I pay.

For some reason I always think "very personal network" when I read VPN.

paid VPN's are great, if you need to use one often. If you only occasionally need access to blocked content use Google translate as a proxy.

Just paste the blocked url in the translate box.

Which is fine but torrenting without a VPN is stupid.

Depends on your ISP(and torrenting habits). I've never needed one myself. No DMCA notices in 25 years. I rarely seed though.

Yet ;) Personally as I'm carrying out an illegal activity (leaving arguments about its legality aside) I would rather not take the risk.

Thus my hesitance to seed. They go after distributors not consumers, logically enough. ;)

Especially for the sake of a few shekels a year.
