It seems that PG’s website is no longer blocked in Italy, lets wait a little more in order to be sure about that.

Cheers

Thanks. Yes, it’s been getting some coverage, and we received various offers to help. I will speak with UNC about it tomorrow (they actually host www.gutenberg.org, and it is their DNS that is hijacked).

It appears that there are some sites that offer copyrighted content for sale in Italy, and also somehow distribute Project Gutenberg. So, that’s how we got listed among all the other sites to be blocked.
