Sky broadband has now decided Bitcoin related sites must be blocked "To prevent illegal activity"

Just got off the phone with a very friendly but ultimately useless young chap at Sky who informed me that I couldn't access mining.bitcoin.cz as it and many other bitcoin-related sites have been blocked (and will be staying that way) in order "to prevent illegal activity, and comply with court orders"

I do not have the words...

Edit: I live in the UK, though possibly not for much longer if this sort of thing keeps up

DoubleEdit: Seems to be working ok now. My guess is that either they switched the filter on on our account for shits and giggles, or the site was blocked by accident and they've now fixed it.
