Your download speeds/pings?

[Tommer]

Fact of the matter is,

Blocking TPB is no different to blocking YouTube as a whole.

There are many illegal videos on YouTube, should the whole of YouTube be blocked because someone might watch copyright material from the wrong channel? Or upload?

In much the same way, there are many illegal files on TPB, should the whole of TPB be blocked because someone might download an illegal file? Or upload?

Now let me edit this paragraph one more time.

There are many illegal files and websites on the internet, should the whole of the internet be blocked because someone might access or upload illegal content to it?

These services have legitemate uses and cannot be held responsible for the actions the user takes. It is not the websites fault but the users only.

I'm completely against internet censorship for this reason, it's plain stupid and ill thought out.

If you want to stop piracy, you have to provide a better service than the pirates. Welcome to the real world, nobody has an infinite wallet so the government might aswell get over it, all the 'losses' companies claim aren't losses because they wouldn't have made it in the first place.
