Unblock Torrent Sites in Austria

Unblock Torrent Sites

 Some time ago T-Mobile in Austria has blocked several torrenting websites including The Pirate Bay and its clones.

During the past 8 years Internet users in Austria are struggling from pirate site blocking.

“It sounds paradoxical, but this should finally bring legal certainty in a long-standing dispute over pirate sites. T-Mobile Austria has filed with regulatory authority RTR a kind of self-report, after blocking several sites on the basis of a warning by rights holders,” T-Mobile said in a statement.

“The background to the communication to the RTR, through which T-Mobile intends to obtain an assessment by the regulator, is a very unsatisfactory legal situation in which operators have no opportunity to behave in conformity with the law.

“The service provider is forced upon notification by the copyright owner to even judge about possible copyright infringements. At the same time, the provider is violating the principle of net neutrality by setting up a ban.”

 

“For more than two years, we have been trying to find a solution with the involved interest groups and the responsible ministry, which on the one hand protects the rights of the artists and on the other hand does not force the providers into the role of a judge,” complains Maximilian Schubert, Secretary General of the ISPA.

“The willingness of the rights holders to compromise had remained within manageable limits. Now they are massively increasing the pressure and demanding costly measures, which the service providers see as punishment for them providing legal security for their customers for many years.”

 

However many people are still looking for some solution for accessing torrent sites.

VPN is a great choice for that problem.

VPN or virtual private network hides IP address and under the vpn you can easily access any blocked site.

You can setup vpn connection on your computer or mobile device in a few minutes and enjoy unlimited Internet access.
