Mises.org defeats Censors
This is a screenshot of the Tor proxy users, showing people from these countries using the Mises Tor server to bypass Internet censorship in their countries. These numbers are for one 24-hour period. These numbers are for the censorship proxy only.
Tor, created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, makes it possible for people to browse the web without IP detection and hence without fear from overlords in government. This helps spread information, which might be the most important defense against despotism that the world has today.
Servers must volunteer to be helpful in this regard. Mises.org is such a volunteer - as part of a a commitment to the cause of free speech and free flow of information.
The anonymizing proxy routes the traffic of many thousands of users every day. You can see us in the total rankings (look for MisesDotOrg2) here.
Thank You!
I downloaded Tor, this is so cool,
When I tried to watch (we don't have TV) the Olympics online from a German website, it said I cannot see the live stream, because of legal blabla.
In reality it is censored, because the rights were sold to XY.
Screw them!
For the coming WorldCup in June I was planning to get cable again.
Looks like I don't have to LOL!
Thank You!
Screw Property Rights
Is that what you said?
IMissLiberty
haha
Screw the American Networks who "buy" the rights to the Olympic Games and then show just what they want and when they want.
For example they show only the American Team and only the sports they are good in and they show the top events at the best advertising time, not live!
That pissed me off about the Bejing games too.
In Germany they show 24/7 all kinds of competitions, not only the glory of the German team.
And live, even if it is in the middle of the night.
Is it called property rights, when a TV station buys the rights to an event that nobody in particular "owns" in the first place, like the Olympic Games?
Then shows only the parts they think will sell their crap, at times they think people watch who will buy their crap.
And totally miss the point what the games are all about.
This is why Atlanta sucked so bad, all comercial corporate self-celebration, the Pepsi Games they were called.
So this is called property rights?
well your confirming
that there is more going on in the big picture than they want to meet the eye..Welcome to the Coalition, & the NWO..
Other anonymizing systems
Tor is one of a number of anonymizing systems available over the Internet. I recently posted a comment about these here:

This was in response to an article by Alex Jones and the coming Internet censorship.
A couple things to note. First that due to the way Tor and a couple of others work, they are significantly slower than through non-anonymous means. This is due both to needing to encrypt everything and to bounce it off a number of relays to disguise its origin. Thus high bandwidth services such as steaming video, torrents, etc. may be very slow.
Secondly, if it is the host that is restricting access, while it will not know the origin of the client, it can know that it came from an "exit node" from Tor or other similar systems, and thus block it on that basis. Additionally, there is also a possibility that the exit node could be in one of the banned locations, and thus get blocked for that reason.

S*#t!
I just tried to access the live stream of the Alpine Slalom.
Here is the link.

Even with Tor I got the message that for legal reasons I cannot see it.
And if I was by any chance in Germany I should contact them.
Now they must have banned Proxy servers too.
Tor bump!
