Dear Peacefire...ers,

FYI, if you are looking for a quick and easy way to bypass blocking software on a machine somewhere, we have set up a free site at
http://www.StupidCensorship.com/
Obviously, since we are publicizing this URL and linking it from our site, it's likely to end up on the block lists of all the major blocking programs. However, we've found that a high proportion of computers where these programs are installed, do not have their blocked-site lists updated very often, either because the program came with a limited subscription for list updates and that ran out, or the admins who are supposed to do the updating just rarely get around to it. So there is a good chance this URL will work even from a censored computer.

That page also has a form where you can enter your email address to be notified of the locations where we set up any future blocking-software-bypass sites. So even if blocking software companies start responding faster to block new bypass sites when they're announced, by getting on that updates list you can get one step ahead of them whenever we create and announce a new bypass site, since they're cheap and easy to set up. ...

Given the politics and situational conflicts of interest, I'll just say this will be intriguing to watch.
