You may be aware that in the last few days, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, Virgin Media, O2, Be, Plusnet, Post Office broadband, Orange and T-Mobile and others started to block EZTV.it and FirstRow1.eu in the UK because of a MPA/FACT court order.
Why are they being blocked? The MPA – the US movie trolls industry body – and the ironically named “FACT” – the UK copyright trolls lobby group ordered the block in the high court. These are the same sorts of organisations that are happy the Pirate Bay got blocked.
The people responsible for the block are the BPI – only they can get a court to lift it. The Open Rights Group and UK Pirate Party are campaigning to end the blocking – joining those campaigns will be most likely to make the FACT and the MPA change their mind.
There are several methods to bypass the block, but let’s begin with the simplest way to get around FACT’s blocking – here are some links to some very straightforward proxies and mirrors you can use to get on the site.
Unblocking and accessing EZTV and/or FirstRow1 is really easy, here’s a bunch of proxies:
