I would just add a rule into the loadbalancer config, if the request is coming from the music industry or a government agency redirect them to an empty website. (I am kidding).


I wish you weren't. Seriously, if we can't vote people in to make sane choices with policies, lock them out.

It might sound stupid, but they would at least have to learn a little bit about the internet before they made their next move.


If you want to do one better, put up something like "website blocked" as if it were some overzealous corporate firewall deciding that the site was bad.

With any luck, they'll think it's their own fault.


This is brilliant!!! :)


Bonus points if you have the site blocked under the 'file sharing' category or something like that :)


I was kinda curious, is it legal to put that picture on your website on your own?


If you're copying logo or using someone else's trademark from a real firewall page, that's a bad idea. But it can't be too hard to create a generic 'block' page that looks similar enough to real ones without using anyone else's images or logos to be convincing.


Just don't use anything federal to try and imitate.. that ends badly pretty much every time.
