Virgin Media Fail

Virgin Media (a UK ISP) just rolled out their block on the two alternate pirate bay IP addresses. Visiting tpb now shows this page

Funny thing 1
It's an error page from Apache and not the block page that it should show

Funny thing 2
you@example.com, nice example config file you used there !

Funny thing 3
It's so catastrophically configured that it thinks HTTP status 200 (which means OK as in "all is fine lets look at the page) is an error and is actually generating an error page for that !

Haha wow, that must have been really rushed through.
But I guess it's lucky for us the people trying to censor us are stupid.

You can't censor the internet it's too big and there is no central source, they should give up trying before they break it :(

The only way to stop the widespread of piracy is to make it illegal to access any and all networks, no matter how small, and the repercussions of that should be obvious.And there would probably still be people accessing networks to share files with one another, so that's a bust too.

Lets hope they give up the fight soon , and instead of trying to limit the internet they realize the possibilities of profiting from it.

Limiting the internet is like trying to limit....
Air.

Its everywhere, and you can't just get rid of it.

Wait, what were you doing to Pirate Bay ;)

Anyway, if they block all Pirate bay alt IP's, can't you just use an off-location proxy server?
