Italian internet cencorship
Images on img5.imageshack.us are blocked for Italian users. Seems the domain hosts also pedopornographic material.

Imageshack is blocked for you? By whom?

- NOT a game master
Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Italian police, Crush. Seems there is an investigation on the website which blocks Italian IPs.
Re: [RC] Zombie
So someone abuses a public web 2.0 service for criminal purpose and they block the whole service for everyone? Just great. The ministry of family afairs in Germany plans a similar internet censorship system to "fight child porn". Seems like we have to get used to surfing with abroad open proxies, TOR or other anonymizing systems in the future.

Just don't want to have something to do with law.
Re: [RC] Zombie
For a geek like me local internet filters are just an inconvenience, not a real problem.
They wouldn't filter by IP. A German ISP tried to block a single site by IP last year and they accidently blocked 3.5 million (!) websites hosted by GoDaddy, the largest webhoster in the US, while the targeted domain was available under a different IP a few hours later.
When they filter by DNS I would just use a 3rd party DNS server.
When they filter the http requests based on the url in the http header I just use https.
When the server doesn't support https (and unfortunately most servers don't, but I expect this to change in the future) I would just use an abroad open proxy which does or I would fire up TOR and jump circuits until I get an exit node which is not behind a filter.
But for the common internet user on the other hand...

Re: [RC] Zombie
I know too Tor and privoxy are running, but I rather avoid using them in these cases
