Animal Super Craft - Maker Word Simulator Delux... -

The Super Lion roared a wave of vowels that froze the corrupted letters in place. The Hyper Laser-Bear opened its mouth and fired a concentrated beam of pure punctuation. The beam struck the monster, breaking it apart and reorganizing the jumbled mess into harmless, floating dictionary definitions.

The glowing neon sign above the door read in a dizzying array of fonts. Leo stepped inside, and his reality instantly dissolved into a grid of living language. 🧩 The Workshop of Words Animal Super Craft - Maker Word Simulator Delux...

The word flashed on his screen. A prompt appeared: APPLY PREFIX? [SUPER] / [MINI] / [MEGA] . Leo smashed the [SUPER] button. The Super Lion roared a wave of vowels

Floating consonants and vowels drifted like dandelion seeds. The glowing neon sign above the door read

A massive crossword puzzle grid that hummed with energy.

The alarm stopped. The grid returned to a peaceful, steady hum. Leo smiled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at his terminal.

    I think its the start… there's worse to come.

    Interesting. I'm also blocked and I'm using Google's DNS and not Virgin Media's. A simple VPN service can still access Pirate Bay as predicted.

    Argh, me hearties and shiver me timbers. I hope it doesn't happen in Australia. I'd never be able to "evaluate" anything.

    Its a terrible move, I'm disguised by the UK corurts and the government/s who helped/allowed this to happen.

    Italy routinely blocks gambling sites which are not registered with the state gambling monopoly (http://www.aams.gov.it) … which would appear to violate the spirit of free commerce within the EU.

    I’m another person who thinks it’s a terrible decision by the court. It won’t make a dent in piracy, but just makes it easier for more censorship of websites in the future than private companies such as music rights holders disagree with for any reason.

    Sites in the U.S have already been mistakenly taken offline and then brought back a year later, for example. If that’s someone’s sole earnings, then they’re utterly stuck for 12 months without cash, and presumably might not even know until one day their traffic drops off a cliff.

    The only good thing is that at least I can avoid using ISPs that have complied with these court orders for the time being, along with using a VPS etc, and that it may encourage more people in the future to check out the Pirate Party, Open Rights Group, etc etc.
