Filter evasion.

Newzbin2 Threatens to Nuke BT's Filters if Blocked.

But prior to the ruling, Newsbin2 said on Wednesday that if BT makes any attempts to block subscribers from the website, it will "ensure continuity of service to our UK readers" by breaking BT's Cleanfeed filter. This filter is typically used to block access to sites playing host to child pornography � now it will also filter out Newzbin2.

The original Newzbin web site did charge a subscription of £0.3p per week, they were closed down in the summer of 2010.

This adjudication is against Newzbin 2 who came into being within weeks of the Newzbin website's closure, and as far as I'm aware Newzbin 2 do not charge for accessing the site and will remain operational until sometime in October' 2011

Newzbin2 charge .30p a week.

If you were a memer of the original Newzbin you pay nothing to use Newwzbin2. Anyway I would say that Newzbin & Newzbin2 have seen better days, there are far more powerful indexing sites out there that do not employ users or editors and who certainly don't charge anything.

Um that is not true. You still have to have premium credit on newzbin2 regardless of if you were a member of the original.

Take it from someone that knows.

Rubbish, why would they attract more attention to themselves, their quote is taken out of context. If you follow the story from months back you'll see they were advising ways around any potential blocks months ago.

They'll avoid being filtered not break/hack it I'm sure.

They already have - http://torrentfreak.com/newzbin-uses-tor-to-stop-dom... - probably before the block is/was put in place.

Incidentally I'm sure Newzbin are really grateful for all the free publicity. I hadn't heard of them before this case.

The url in the article doesn't seem to work for me: http://sc3njt2i2j4fvqa3.tor2web.org

It worked for me when I tried it yesterday but to sign up for an account I had to use the native url. It's working now for me (Vodafone 3G) but I'm not sure if subsequent requests (such as a search) route via TOR or not as I just see the native url after using the tor2web one. I don't have a TOR client to try the other method and don't have enough interest to try it all out.

Tried it again, this time with Firefox5 instead of IE9, and it works. Interesting. The original http request redirects to https, so maybe it's something to do with encryption.

Ahh - after I log in it fails. That may be because I get a redirect because I haven't bought any credit. I think the reason I was seeing the plain url is simple - I'd stored it as well as the tor service one and it was that one I must have clicked by mistake...

I imagine it all works OK if you have a premium account. It seems that freeloaders using this site don't get everything free after all

As the NZB files are available from umpteen other sources anyway it all seems a rather pointless exercise to me.

I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when I load the link. I think it's an ssl handshake issue which Firefox is more forgiving about than IE.
