Re: Virgin Media Site Blocker
Most users prefer enterprises that allow them to use their own equipment as well. BYOD fosters increased job satisfaction and productivity, it's not going away anytime soon.
Given there are many VPN solutions (including software only ones) that now use SSL - including Cisco's - blocking it would be nigh on impossible. |
Re: Virgin Media Site Blocker
I thought it was relatively easy to circumvent blocked sites? Either using a proxy server or VPN.

Re: Virgin Media Site Blocker
I hope the local prat who seeds flat out 24x7 is too stupid to figure out how to get around it. Fat chance of that though. It's a complete waste of time and ISPs money.

The UK is heading down the wrong path censorship to appeal to a minority of th epopulation who get rich from copyright. Some legal firms have even been closed down due to shady practices of profiteering from copyright infringement. |

Funny how both Labour and the Lib Dems were against any censoring of the internet when the Conservatives were in power. Yet it's all coming in now. If you want a good idea of how all this is really going on take a look at the 80's series Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. Whitehall probably have what they want for the internet, for the next 5 years at least, already planned. After the 'Arab Spring' you can bet it isn't going to be as free and open as it has been. The other problem with all of this is that people will start using VPN's, Tor, etc. the government are basically pushing people toward darknets. The law enforcement agencies will have a much tougher time once that happens. I know they recently caught a group of people the other day for something or other who were using Tor but they were using PayPal and the postal system. |

I have had a VPN for a while just so i can have some privacy when i need it and to get to sites that the recording industry and movie industry do not want me to visit. I have now decided that the industrie can for forth in short jerky movements because of there blocking of sites and i will be reverting to my old ways. |
Re: Virgin Media Site Blocker
The problem is, while I don't agree with the path the record industry or movie industry has elected to take, people are going to have to be very careful. Especially now they are starting to get their way with the censoring of websites.
The path ends at a "whitelist internet". One that all sites are blocked, except for the ones they approve of, and that will be a very bad place for the internet to be at. |

What they want to trigger by shows of strength and state backing is a cultural change. Away from tape-to-tape thinking and into coin-op-arcade thinking. This is an essential misunderstanding of the human experience though. We like buying nice new things with our pennys. We also like copying our mates' tapes. I personally have an account with a music purchasing service I like and buy straight off my radio. I also have some CDs. I also have some mix tapes and some MP3s from mates. Like most folk. People don't see an either/or situation here, but corporate fear of one extreme leads them to over promote the other. They think that adds no risk to them, but I think it leads to things like 'Amazing Radio'. Watch out big business. Once Youview gets going it's only a matter of time until 'Amazing Video' comes along. And not a lot of time either. The encryption is necessary because of the new proposed phone/internet tapping laws. Basically, it won't just be Rupert Murdoch we have to worry about, the local council will be at it as well (you know they will in the end...). |

Even China didn't manage that.

I expect a whitelist internet would be managed by a central provided whitelist aka IWF style. So isp's wouldnt individually manage whitelists. The barrier isnt cost its public acceptance. |
Re: Virgin Media Site Blocker
My guess is, now Hollywood have got the Courts to order ISP's to implement a ban on TPB, the next step will be to try to get the Court's to order ISP's to filter their networks for infringing media.
Massive penalties will then be levied on the ISP's for falure or non-compliance. Bottom line, BB charges will increase and us punters will end up paying to fix Hollywood's problem. |
