    Italian police close site offering access to The Pirate Bay

    Italian Fiscal Police (GdF) in Bergamo have closed labaia.net, a proxy site created specifically to allow internet users in Italy to access The Pirate Bay in direct response to a recent court order requiring ISPs in the country to block access to that unlicensed service.

    Labaia.net was shut after a police investigation carried out in response to a complaint from the Italian recorded music industry. The Court of Bergamo has ruled that Italian ISPs should act to prevent their users from accessing The Pirate Bay, a bitTorrent service that facilitates access to a large amount of copyright infringing material.

    Italian police closes a proxy thus making you glad you are not living in a socialistic country?

    I fail to see the connection.

    Well it's not like they took down The Pirate Bay itself, they just blocked access. Life goes on.

    Last I looked Italy was run by a philanderer with dubious links to the Maf (allegedly).
    Not really my idea of socialism:)
