Makes no difference. Amazon.com is still viewable within the UK.

The IWF have over stepped their remit, or at the very least are on the very fringes of their remit. If i remember correctly they tried the same thing with 4chan are year or so ago and had to reverse the decission.

Someone said earlier that wikipedia should remove the image and solve the problem, but i think that would confound the problem. They would be caving in to censorship if they done so, and if the IWF can see that they can get away with it once, they will continue to do it again and again.
