Polish ISP blocks gimp.org and other sites
-
One of largest if not largest Polish ISP (former telephone monopolist) blocks access to gimp.org and other sites (like git.or.cz or some Polish IRC servers)... again! There were some problems in October, but they were resolved around a day; this time it is a week that they persist. This of course without any announcement or warning!
People suspect that this ISP started to use MAPS (Mail Abuse Prevention System: SPAM backwards) blacklist in some thick-handed attempt to curb spam. Well, accroding to Wikipedia you have to know how to use it, and I guess they haven't tech savvy people in decision for that. Gaah!
Of course one can use one of many anti-block / on-line proxy sites, it is usually just inconvenient...

It's probably just the EU, trying to stop you from using "communist" software like GIMP. ;)

I think you're mistaking the EU for 70's USA

okay, so it's probably the EU trying to stop "terrorist" software.

I think y'all mistake the EU for a single nation with consistent legislation. ;)
