Torrents could be a "zero" issue for you but might be a big issue for a politician or a Policy guy - depending on what the torrent is sharing. Right now am somehwere @China and am amused to find that twitter.com does NOT work at these of end of the globe. Perhaps it is temporary and it will work tomorrow but highly doubtful;-) <br><br>Meanwhile, Google is chucking moderated results and outrightly refusing to respond to others like "Tiananman Square" (-1 for Joe M ;-). I want to keep trying this search key but fear someone might trace my IP and knock at my door at midnite - shivering :-(<br> <br>@ ./Chucks<br>Looks like automated technology does work these sides ;-)<br><br>walu.<br>nb: let me know if this mail gets to .KE or it will be quarantined somewhere..<br><br>--- On <b>Wed, 5/2/12, Brian Munyao Longwe

<p>File-sharing site The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK internet service providers, the High Court has ruled.</p>
<p>The Swedish website hosts links to mostly pirated free music and videos.</p>
<p>But, as the BBC's Daniel Emery explains, copyright holder may
still be "fighting a losing battle" in the quest to protect their
material. </p>
