In Italy the Pirate Bay site has just been obscured by T-Men (GdF).
And the DNS requests for that site are redirected to IFPI (who collects the IP).
Computer literate people are just modifying Windows configuration and going to the Bay as ever.
So, I don't know what all that is achieving...
Right now TPB is seen as Public Enemy #1, and eventually they'll succumb.
