E' un momento molto grave per la libertà nel nostro Paese e sulla rete.

Fascist state censors Pirate Bay

We're quite used to fascist countries not allowing freedom of speech. A lot
of smaller nations that have dictators decide to block our site since we can
help spread information that could be harmful to the dictators.

This time it's Italy. They suffer from a really bad background as one of the
IFPIs was formed in Italy during the fascist years and now they have a
fascist leader in the country, Silvio Berlusconi. Berlusconi is also the
most powerful person in Italian media owning a lot of companies that compete
with The Pirate Bay and he would like to stay that way - so one of his
lackeys, Giancarlo Mancusi, ordered a shutdown of our domain name and IP in
Italy to make it hard to not support Berlusconis empire.

We have had fights previously in Italy, recently with our successful art
installation where we had to storm Fortezza in order to get our art done.
And as usual, we won. We will also win this time.

We have already changed IP for the website - that makes it work for half the
ISPs again. And we want you all to inform your italian friends to switch
their DNS to OpenDNS so they can bypass their ISPs filters. This will also
let them bypass the other filters installed by the Italian government, as a
bonus. And for the meanwhile - http://labaia.org works (La Baia means The
Bay in Italian).

And please, everybody should also contact their ISP and tell them that this
is not OK and that the ISPs should appeal. We don't want a censored
internet! And the war starts here...
