Not really sure what to think about this, I'm not very keen on the idea that every website I visit is done so via a proxy server. Saying that it is almost trivial to bypass any blocked site as you can just use https:// in place of http://.

Also, the whole effort of taking the case to court will be made worthless as Newzbin 3 will be up within weeks of it being blocked.

Discuss !

What is Newzbin 2? Seems like a site for piracy to me which is pretty fantastic. I've never used it nor do I have any knowledge of it.

I had never heard of it before I read that article either. It seems to be "google for pirated content".
