You're lucky, when I was at School using old BBC Micros, the Internet hadn't been invented yet.

In the late 80s? According to Wikipedia, the Internet wasn't made public till around 1991 as I recall.

That will be the World Wide Web....which when searched for on Wikipedia is noted that it is "not to be confused with the Internet"
Home users were accessing online features before 1991, and indeed the mid 80s films such as War Games and Weird Science used elements of this in their plots (War Games sees a kid go online and play games with almost fatal consequences, Weird Science saw teens hack a supercomputer via Internet to..erm...help make the perfect woman)
One lad I went to school with had a chunky dial up connection in the 80s.

Looks suspiciously like ACTA by the backdoor.
Which, considering ACTA is not enacted yet, and is effectively designed (currently still, though the EU Parliament and official EU HR watchdog are finally waking up) as enforcement without lube...erm, sorry, I mean without much in the way of judicial oversight or due process...is no mean feat indeed! 
Interesting to see the UK's ISPs bending over willingly, by the look of things, when Irish ISPs went to the (Irish) Court of Appeal over the same issue.
Perhaps they're too scared of the labels already, having seen the aftermath.

I wonder how much of the EU's very recently raised eyebrows about ACTA (of which the DEA is but one tentacle in the UK) has to do with that?

PPs I could only find one of the two 'big' ones (2600mAh or thereabouts) in this morning's rush, so got you a swanky battery charger instead - and put you two nearly-new std AAs in there as well (...which must have lasted, oooh...about an hour? tops? 'told you that thing is bad with batteries )

I'm with Virgin. Just typed in www.piratebay.org and I got www.piratebay.se with everything looking like it did yesterday.

It`s been a bay.se suffix for a few months now you were already getting redirected.They changed from .org to stop the Americans from seizing the domain(which wouldn`t matter anyway as they have backups to get back online within 24 hours.)
It`s really just a waste of money.Anyone but a retarded monkey can get round a website ban.Even a casual user can just type the address into the bar as its only a dns ban and not deep packet inspection.
Hollywood is built on piracy,without it they wouldn`t exist yet they cry about it constantly.So called pirates are there biggest customers and blocking 1 site out of thousands and giving them lots of free advertising in the process is obviously the best way forward.

It will be interesting if it indeed IS just a DNS ban, seeing as lots of people use Google or OpenDNS these days so would miss the ban entirely without even trying.

Lots of people? I suspect this is still a very low percentage of users - surely someone with the knowledge to change to a different DNS server will be using a private tracker rather than TPB anyway?
