Default Virgin media blocks Newzbin2

I see that they have beein issued with a court order and have now blocked access to the site. Isn't the web supposed to be about freedom, looks like we are now told what we can and cannot look at.

I'm not using torrents, I have other sites to get the stuff I want so blocking Newzbin makes no difference to me only in the fact I had 140days left on my bill.

Takes 2 minutes to get around any blocking they put in place.

Try binsearch for your nzbs, there are also loads of others

I can still look at the site on my phone so if I wanted an easier way to download the nzb's I could just wifi the laptop from my phone and get them that way, Simples.
