Re: MPA blocking files on Usenet

How are they doing this?

Could they perhaps be sending bogus cancel requests or something, or maybe corrupting posts?

And on what providers servers is this happening, or is it perhaps on NZB sites like Newzbin (which is involved in a legal battle with the MPA)?

There are too many places for such files to propagate on Usenet to make such blocking by them impractical at best. And chances are they are utterly failing at blocking them.
