Fascist state censors Pirate Bay

We’re quite used to fascist countries not allowing freedom of speech. A lot of smaller nations that have dictators decide to block our site since we can help spread information that could be harmful to the dictators.

This time it’s Italy. They suffer from a really bad background as one of the IFPIs was formed in Italy during the fascist years and now they have a fascist leader in the country, Silvio Berlusconi. Berlusconi is also the most powerful person in Italian media owning a lot of companies that compete with The Pirate Bay and he would like to stay that way - so one of his lackeys, Giancarlo Mancusi, ordered a shutdown of our domain name and IP in Italy to make it hard to not support Berlusconis empire.

We have had fights previously in Italy, recently with our successful art installation where we had to storm Fortezza in order to get our art done. And as usual, we won. We will also win this time.

We have already changed IP for the website - that makes it work for half the ISPs again. And we want you all to inform your italian friends to switch their DNS to OpenDNS so they can bypass their ISPs filters. This will also let them bypass the other filters installed by the Italian government, as a bonus. And for the meanwhile -http://labaia.org works (La Baia means The Bay in Italian).

And please, everybody should also contact their ISP and tell them that this is not OK and that the ISPs should appeal. We don’t want a censored internet! And the war starts here…

Questo è quello che è presente nel blog di The Pirate Bay. L’Italia applica una censura preventiva nei confronti di questo sito bloccando direttamente le richieste via DNS del dominio. Non tutti i provider italiani per ora hanno applicato tale restrizione. In attesa che applichino questa restrizione invito a cambiare i vostri dns con quelli di Opendns (208.67.222.222 e 208.67.220.220). Altrimenti al momento potete raggiungerlo anche collegandovi al sito: http://labaia.org. Purtroppo siamo arrivati alle stesse stregue della censura applicata in Cina.

Altri post seguiranno su questo argomento per mantenere aggiornata la situazione.

Ritorno a scrivere dopo tanto tempo, con un bel tutorial. Siamo ormai al web 2.0 e il ‘dominio di terzo livello www‘ inizia a non essere più usato. Anche giustamente direi. Lo riferisce la RFC 3986 e dice (pag.27):

4.5.  Suffix Reference

 

   The URI syntax is designed for unambiguous reference to resources and extensibility via the URI scheme.  However, as URI identification and usage have become commonplace, traditional media (television, radio, newspapers, billboards, etc.) have increasingly used a suffix of the URI as a reference, consisting of only the authority and path portions of the URI, such as

 

      www.w3.org/Addressing/

 

   or simply a DNS registered name on its own.  Such references are primarily intended for human interpretation rather than for machines, with the assumption that context-based heuristics are sufficient to complete the URI (e.g., most registered names beginning with “www” are likely to have a URI prefix of “http://”).  Although there is no standard set of heuristics for disambiguating a URI suffix, many client implementations allow them to be entered by the user and heuristically resolved.

 

   Although this practice of using suffix references is common, it should be avoided whenever possible and should never be used in situations where long-term references are expected.  The heuristics noted above will change over time, particularly when a new URI scheme becomes popular, and are often incorrect when used out of context. Furthermore, they can lead to security issues along the lines of those described in [RFC1535].

 

   As a URI suffix has the same syntax as a relative-path reference, a suffix reference cannot be used in contexts where a relative reference is expected.  As a result, suffix references are limited to places where there is no defined base URI, such as dialog boxes and off-line advertisements.

Quindi in attesa di adeguarci tutti piano piano e soprattutto dopo che i movimenti no-www stanno prendendo piede esistono ancora realtà dove il www esiste ed è utilizzato. Una di queste realtà è Aruba. Con il servizio di hosting base, senza domini di terzo livello, tutti gli accessi a dominio.com saranno automaticamente re-indirizzati a www.dominio.com.

Questa cosa è un po’ sconveniente. Per ovviare ed adeguarci alle nuove direttive dovremo sborsare ulteriori soldi per acquistare servizio di dominio di “terzo livello”. Queste limitazioni risultano fastidiose per alcuni script. In questo caso parlerò di WordpressMU. WordpressMU (d’ora in poi WPMU) è uno script derivato da Wordpress per il blogging multiutente; un esempio concreto è la piattaforma wordpress.com. Se vogliamo installare questo “gioiellino” sul nostro spazio web su Aruba avremo un piccolo problema: lo script funziona solo esclusivamente con domini privi di www.

Ora vi illustrerò un workaround per poter effettuare una installazione.
