The Australian government's ban on piracy/"""copyright infringement""" was to half ass a filter they hand to ISPs that's very infrequently updated.

So when thepiratebay or eztv or whatever moves to a new domain, it's available for several months. I have friends who don't use VPNs and get around the "block" by going on Google and searching "nyaa proxy" and one of the redirects on the page would work.

Oh, and if you swap your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, you can indefinitely bypass any Australian government censor.
