Most of them blocked by court orders from the MPAA and BPI, in an attempt to cut down on piracy.
Are you downloading less or have you got around the block and it's business as usual?
(better not give details of how you do it, that might be seen as promoting piracy  ) |

Few years back someone had uploaded a picture of Barbra Streisand's house to the internet. Nobody bothered to look at the photo.
Then one day Barbra Streisand's lawyers filed a lawsuit against the person who'd uploaded the photo claiming a violation of privacy... the guy who uploaded the pic didn't take it down and because of the lawsuit the photo went from complete obscurity (it was previously only viewed 6 times... and 2 of those were Streisand's lawyers!) to overnight fame with almost half a million people viewing it within a month!
So now an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information that has the unintended consequence of publicising it more widely is known as the Streisand Effect. |
