    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.

    This is a discussion about web censorship - some of the time.

    They cut the full length version where Nigel stands up and sings "But I saved myself several hundreds of pounds over the years, and you pricks didn't, and I deleted most of my films after watching them because they were sh*t, and I wouldn't have bought them anyway, you bunch of mugs...............Now does anyone want a pack of duty free snouts for 2 quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid?" :D

    Just 2 weeks ago I commented extensively about how the phonographic industry is actively trying to shutdown the entire Internet (really!) since it's a threat to their business. The posts about this subject start here.

    Of course it won't be just TPB. After a precedent is well established, it should be quite easy to extend it to almost everything else.

    I'm glad Martijn (and others) make so much effort trying to obtain legal permission for hosted files. This should reduce the chance that WoS will be ever blocked. But other Speccy related sites are not in the same position...

    WoS uses the wrong "default" though iyswim.

    This is the reason I wrote "reduce" instead of "eliminate".

    IMHO there's a reasonable chance that WoS will be eventually forced to eliminate most of its archive, just keeping the files that have written permission...
