Danish ISP Tele2 Challenges Pirate Bay Blockade

Posted by Zonk on from the arr-they'll-never-take-the-rum dept.

krasmussen writes "After Monday's injunction on Danish ISP Tele2 to block access to The Pirate Bay, the company has now decided to take the case further in court. 'We do not like being put in a role where we as ISP have to regulate people's freedom of speech' says Nicholai Pfeiffer, regulatory manager i Telenor, which owns Tele2. However, because the current ruling against Tele2 still stands, the customers are not going to regain access to The Pirate Bay at the moment."

    Tele2 can post a list of legal open proxies on their website, and instructions on how to set one up? They can still comply with the court order, but meanwhile stick by their principles.

    ah http://www.prospector.cz/Free-Internet-services/Web-proxy/ , without you I would be torrent-less...that is of course if I lived there. Fortunately I live in Canada the Tortuga of the internet, where the torrents flow like water and our government is still afraid of its people.

      I think he was referring to the sexual orientation of the admins.
