The Court of Rome has issued a nation-wide block of two dozen sites that facilitated the distribution of pirated movies. Among the blocked domains is Kim Dotcom's cloud hosting service Mega, Firedrive (formerly known as Putlocker), and even Russia's largest email provider Mail.ru.

WOW!

Really nice to see the Italian owners looking after their peasants so well. Imagine if one of those naughty members of the public actually used those sites and STOLE stuff! Unthinkable.

The owners of the people are doing a perfectly good job of robbing everything and anything without the peasants getting in on the act too thank you very much!

 

These measures always make me laugh, all they do is block URLs, it takes literally 10sec to find a mirror and keep on using the site. Most people who download stuff from these websites are obviously computer savy enough to figure that out. In the end I doubt these measures have one shred of an effect on piracy, all it does is just piss people off...

 

Indeed, just change your DNS et voilà!

 

It works 4 me (I'm using OpenDNS[1] + GoogleDNS[2])...

208.67.222.222

Info about how to modify DNS (in italian): Modify DNS

P.S.
Alternative: SecureDNS

 

Use vpn to unblock these sites

 

In France, ADOPI is even worse. They PAY pure sh*t companies with OUR money to prevent us from downloading...with almost NO effect
Those ppl are even worse than Kim DotCom...and it is an hard task

Go Italians !!!

 

This is the first FREE VPN I`ve come across that does EXACTLY what you would want it to do.

There is a great "setting up" guide and I fookin loves it!!!

HOLA

 

This is a joke.

Also free VPNs suck, don't count on them to protect your privacy.

 

Italy here, just changed dns, worked.

 

DNS'd years and years ago.. I didnt even noticed this new block!

And please.. Dont spend your energy on VPN sometimes they are more illegal than the stuff you want to reach!

 

Well there are always people that wanna play GOD! I feel so sorry for Humanity!

 

maybe one should keep this info as you never know when it is time for my country to do like italy france politicians like to see what others are doing and copy that..

 

Is right Guitarmaniac64, they have blocked us here in the UK from quite a few sites.

Makes sense to have your "options" in place in case you wake up one morning and discover your country has also joined the embargo on freedom! *yes*

Catalyst: "Also free VPNs suck, don't count on them to protect your privacy."

Gets me what I need when I need it. To each his/her own, eh mate? Isn`t that what freedom is all about???

 

Good, so I'm not the only calling my homeland like that

 

perciò possiamo parlare in italiano stile servizi segreti per non farci capire.. :dancing:

 

Use what you want, I'm just trying to give you the truth of the matter so you can make a more informed decision and that is that free VPNs are nowhere near as safe as some of the pay services. It stands to reason that a free VPN that is not getting your money has no incentive to protect you efficiently, even many pay VPNs don't and that's why it was necessary for TorrentFreak to write an article about those pay services that actually do take your anonymity seriously. Many don't even openly state whether they keep logs or not.
