I still don't understand why ISP's do this. If someone really wants something for free, they will get it for free, and no filtering software is going to stop that.
Just when I thought BT couldn't get any worse. I use Usenet so this shit better not spread to the site I use for completely legitimate downloads.

Are they only blocking Newzbin?
I'm glad I switched to Virgin Media a while ago. BT said I'd receive fibre optics by last December, they hadn't done it by June and denied all information regarding it.

It's previously only been used to block child porn though.
Such a shame.
This is funny. The site only indexes usenet and creates NZB files. It does not host any other content besides the links and there is a link on EVERY POST to have a post removed for copyright grounds. [url]http://docs.newzbin.com/index.php/Newzbin:Item_Removal?printable=yes[/url]
Newzbin 2? Sounds interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, High court of England
