Well, my dad knows very little about computers, but does use piratebay a lot, he's already figured out how to get around it with a quick google search.

Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
At this rate it'll take me minus a month or more to get around it
Since BT haven't even implemented the block yet.
Beat that.

Has he thought of contacting NBC/Google, or would he rather just be a drama queen?

Guess you've totally missed the point then.
I couldn't find it, I only did a quick look through my history, but I saw something this week where some 'partner' of a major studio was actually issuing takedown notices for a film the studio they were working on behalf of were trying to promote.
