Here’s a story you don’t read very often.
Most of you probably are aware of those handy blocklists that block IP-ranges of anti-piracy organizations. Well, TorrentFreak is now proudly listed on one of them, IpfilterX.
IpfilterX users who attempt to access our site today are blocked, because we are “LameFreak”.
Why you might ask? Well here’s the story.
A while ago someone from IpfilterX contacted us to ask if we could help them with their donation drive. We kindly explained that we could not honor the request. Not because we don’t want to support them, but because we feel that TorrentFreak is not the best outlet for their message.
We believe that a blocklists should be able to maintain itself by donations from its users, and not by donation drives in news articles. Also, we felt that it wouldn’t be fair to all other blocklist operators who work very hard without any compensation.
Unfortunately, this didn’t satisfy the IpfilterX guy, who sent this message back…

This was a few months ago, but today this rant was followed up by a mention in their famous blocklist. On their website IpfilterX now writes the following.
