China Hijacks Popular BitTorrent Sites
frogger writes "China is not new to censoring the Internet, but up until now, BitTorrent sites have never been blocked. Recently, however, several reports came in from China indicating that popular BitTorrent sites such as Mininova, isoHunt and The Pirate Bay had been hijacked. The sites became inaccessible, instead redirecting to the leading Chinese search engine Baidu."
Yeah, just the other day I tried to go to http://asdlfjkas/ and got redirected to google. It's time for a revolution!
All your Bittorrent Base are belong to us!
You are on your way to Communism, take your time.
You have no choice, but to join us, hahahahahaahah!
We own your national debt, USA, 100 Trillion Dollars, now pay up or we won't give you back your BT sites. Your search engines Google and Yahoo and then megacorprations like Microsoft and IBM are next, muahahahaahahh!
Your Karate is no match for our Kung-Fu!
Remember, Slashdot does not have a -1 disagree moderation, and no, troll, flamebait, and overrated are not substitutes.
If they were more clever, they would still allow torrents to look like they are working... but they would always just result in a download of a two-hour Mao-Is-Cool propaganda movie.
To be perfectly honest with everyone here, I don't understand why guys like you waste their time (and ours) putting down everything that's different from themselves and those who enjoy rather than fear those differences.
My girlfriend is Chinese. She's not only gorgeous (and tight as a drum), but she's smart (4 degrees, including a Masters in Mechanical Engineering), sweet, funny, kind-hearted, caring, gracious, and just nice to be around. She's also honest and hard-working, and she encourages me both by word and example to be a better person. I'm grateful every damn day that I was lucky enough to get together with her.
You know, instead of sitting in Mummy's basement trolling people who have something that you don't, you might try cleaning yourself up a little, learning some manners, and coming out into the light and meeting some real women. I know it's a little bright and scary out there, but I'm confident that you can learn to handle it if you try. I did.
One further piece of advice: If you fancy an Asian lady (and it's pretty obvious that you do, since you're dissing what you think you can't have), you absolutely must learn to be polite to them and respectful of their feelings. If you can get over that little hurdle, you just might be in for a pleasant surprise.

Not flaming, but can I have a source for such practices, or are you speaking purely anecdotally? I find it very interesting. I've spent a considerable amount of time in Germany (as an American) and never experienced this.
