Daniel_Stuckey writes "To fend off the chilling effects of heavy-handed internet restriction, the UK consumer rights organization Open Rights Group wants to create a new version of the '404 Page Not Found' error message, called '451 unavailable,' to specify that a webpage wasn't simply not there, it was ordered to be blocked for legal reasons."
For those who missed the reference and didn't click the links, this is a reference to Fahrenheit 451.

Better idea: open up a 600 "Non-Technical Fault" range. You could even go into more detail: a 600 error could be a generic block, while a 620 might mean "Copyright Infringement", a 630 "Terrorism" or even a 666 "Satanism and/or Heavy Metal".
404a - Page does not exist. This error never happened.
I'm not allowed to tell you.
So its breaking news on slashdot.
I run: Windows, OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. Just because you have a hammer, doesn't mean everything is a nail.
