I found this to be a unique form of protest by Swedish site The Pirate Bay<\/a>. they are opposing the tactic of a swedish isp who has decided to block it’s customers from accessing allmymp3.com. I won’t go into a long diatribe about the merits of imposing restrictions on your customers. I will however share the code that The Pirate Bay has provided to help sites block anyone coming from Perspektiv Bredband.<\/p>\n

This is a unique form of protest in that if enough sites fought back with this methodology (essentially a kill file) then customers of the service would eventually leave and force the ISP to reconsider it’s stance. It’s simply a brilliant methodology.<\/p>\n
