What would be *really* useful is substantive technical details of the guts of the thing:

So long as it’s a “black box”, it’ll take a few months (rather than days) for somebody to figure a way around this.

If anybody still actually believes that this kind of thing works, they don’t understand teenagers:

This is just another excuse for tech-savvy teens to hang out at home hacking and cracking, instead of getting laid, or sniffing airplane glue or something.

(It’s also yet *another* example of the insipid, sheep-like, “for the chiiildren” idiocy that makes me genuinely hope for a global pandemic followed by total civilizational collapse. Maybe if we’re all reduced to a “The Day After”-type scenario, parents will FINALLY get it through their thick skulls that trying to ‘protect’ their offspring from ‘controversial’ images or ideas is never a good idea.

Anybody else rooting for Swine Flu?

the blacklist should also include google because torrent files can be downloaded directly from any google search page.

“…blacklisting sites that have BitTorrent [a file-sharing technology] files on them.â

this must include Bram Cohen/MPAA/RIAA-owned bittorrent site
called Bittorrent.com. http://www.bittorrent.com/

@anyone in the UK:
make sure talktalk knows about this site and includes it in their blacklist.
