Sky blocks access to Newzbin site after MPA move

The Motion Picture Association has threatened to pursue other organisation involved in piracy

Sky has become the second internet service provider (ISP) to block the Newzbin 2 website in the UK after legal efforts by the Motion Picture Association.
Newzbin's members-only pages provide links to pirated films and music.
Sky said it had acted after receiving a court order demanding it remove access to the site.
The broadband provider's action follows a similar move by BT in November. The MPA says it wants other ISPs to follow.
A Sky spokesman said: "Sky is working with the rest of the industry to implement a sustainable framework for tackling piracy.
"When presented with clear and robust evidence of copyright theft, we will take the appropriate action in respect to site blocking, as we have with Newzbin 2."
The MPA has vowed to implement similar blocks against other sites offering links to pirated films.
It has described Newzbin as an organisation "whose business model is based on wholesale copyright infringement".
However, the group behind Newzbin previously told the BBC that most of its active members in the UK had downloaded workaround software to overcome BT's Cleanfeed block.
Virgin Media told the BBC that it would obey the law, but would not take action over the matter until it had received a court order of its own.
"As a responsible ISP, we will comply with any court order addressed to us but strongly believe such deterrents need to be accompanied by compelling legal alternatives such as our agreement with Spotify, which gives consumers access to content at the right price," a spokesman told the BBC.
A spokeswoman for TalkTalk added: "We are not in principle against blocking, provided a court decides. We have received no such order in respect of Newzbin."

[scoobie_wrc]

Still fine here on VM...taken from the frontpage...

For reasons we may explain later (hint: MPA) Newzbin2 is going https ONLY. For the less geeky among you what this means is that the site http://newzbin.com is being taken out of commission in the next few days. In future you will have to use httpS://newzbin.com (note the 'S' after http).

We will have a webserver redirect that should automatically take you from http to https, but this may break for some people(and possibly Sickbeard, SABnzb etc).

While we are at it we will also be removing some old subdomains which are about as useful as an appendix: editors, nfo, v3, docs3 will be going.

To remind you: Tor addresses for our sites are http://sc3njt2i2j4fvqa3.onion/ and the all important pr0n xxx site it is at http://rgeklytexyqh7mpo.onion/

Not sure if this will let you login, but try this link -

http://hidemyass.com/

I can't access the site using my o2 mobile internet either (https works), hadn't seen any mention of mobile networks blocking it too.

Works fine on Vodafone mobile internet.

[SoundOfFaz]

I have tried all suggestions on here but cannot open the site. Tried https instead of http and opened the client which also gives an error. Tried the V3 link (dont know if this was a wind up but worth a try and no luck)

Opened site with hidemyass but so slow unuseable and after logging in it gives me an error about 'no cookie'.

I thought the client was exactly for this reason?

Their blog doesn't open either in case there was any update on there.

i get it to work using TOR.
