Virgin Media

[Vidic]

Just been down for a good 2 hours in protest of the 'Stop Online Piracy Act'. The only sites that worked for me were the BBC and facebook... they practically shut off access to most major sites.

I appreciate Virgin you have a right to exercise a protest but think of other ways that don't make people wanna punch their modem in!!

What a frustrating bit of time that was.

Well I have them as my ISP so they can essentially block anything they want for me.

ah i see. yeah thats fucked, they shouldnt be able to block people's service in the name of a protest, not when people are paying money and relying on the internet for work, school, etc...

that metro-sexual looking old dude who owns it probably thought he was being really liberal and progressive when he was doing it, probably never thought how it would affect regular everyday people. rich asshole. to quote B6 "makes my shit itch".

It was a waste of time, SOPA was thrown out as an infringement on free speech, it never got off the ground.

Fuck off, long live piracy..

They'll never stop piracy, deluding themselves. Metallica tried it in 2001 and it's still going on. You can't beat the Internet.

If SOPA had got their way it would have shut half the internet down

It'll all change once internet speeds get even faster and everyone is downloading films for fun... That's when the shit will hit the fan.

[itownvillan]
