They are blocked because they are illegal.

Please see Forum Rules.

You might lobby your MP and try to make ISP blocking illegal and streaming legal in your country.

Clearly some countries have more freedoms.

Could not pass the discussion, if you are in the UK:

1. Using VPN in not illegal in the UK
2. Using streaming sites is not illegal in Netherlands
3. Therefore, you can switch to Netherlands VPN for witching stream sites, what is more - traffic over VPN is encrypted.

Thanks, good to know freedoms are not all lost, lately copy-write violations are seen worse than violent criminals, and harsh punishment dished out. The real criminals are all these non creatives getting rich off the backs of a few who want to just share their joy with the rest of the world.

Yep, freedoms are not all lost.

I can not recommend anything specific. All services are about the same,
currently I'm using an inexpensive NL vpn from Seed4me Private Club,
if one needs an invitation simply google for it or drop me a PM.


RE: internet provider blocking - AngryLawer - 2014-02-14

Found a bunch of invitations on the official website (https://seed4.me/invitations), please remove the link if it somehow violates TOS.

However I don't see a reason to block VPN links, because as I said before "vpn does not actually perform the act of accessing pirated content".
