#13Same deal in the UK. I wonder how long until the US goes down the same route. I'm quite surprised that they've gone down the DNS based filtering route. I'd expect that to change in a few years time. I recommend investing in a VPN service. They're relatively cheap. And if you pick the right one, the bandwidth is generally pretty good.

#17If you have two dns services one normal and one with blacklisted ip, then you can loop over the domain names in both dns services compare the result and find the blacklist. Easier for reverse dns loopups, but not impossible if you have a list of forward dns names.

#18Earlier quoted context omitted.
HTTPS still has to resolve the domain name that is part of the url.
Yeah, but an ISP should at worst be able to block connections to specific hosts or IP addresses. If they could generate certificates for arbitrary domains (like thepiratebay.se) allowing them to serve a "blocked for copyright infringement" page over HTTPS, then something would be seriously broken.
