"Aufgrund eines Sperrbegehrens nach § 81 Abs 1 UrhG wurde diese Website gesperrt"
means the website has been prohibited by governmental decicion, so A1 has to obey.

nmstoughDo you already have tried to use a webproxy?

Well, so it seems

They aren´t execising "censorship", the pirate sites got blocked on DNS on behalf of the RIAA, so that´s not a government decision, that´s simply the law. Unlike China, it´s not the government who places this rules, it´s the united states content industry ... which one is more saddening is upto you.

For pi-news.net, I am getting an Server Error from the corresponding Server.
Which means, your request is not handled properly by the destination server.

You also mentioned Pergida? I assume you meant PEGIDA?

anyways, due to the nature of both, the site pi-news.net and the pegida movment, both could be targets of a hack or ddos attack, or they just wrecked their servers themselves...

"victimized" is a funny word, considering the context.

Sites like this get moved very often, because of different reasons (Upgrade, DDoS, or just to fool the Fed´s)

This site even makes a difference in using www.* or not.

Without www. DNS Points you to the original Server located at liquid web in the US.
With www. you get to a Mirror hosted at Akamai, where you can land on one of many servers, dependent on your location and you DNS mood of the day.

Just see how much different IP´s Netcraft registered for the site just in October.
