ableton forum suddenly blocked in China

[deutero]

What kind of mischief have you guys been up to?

Damned inconvenient it is.

Are you in China? haha don't tell me that Indiana had to sell Indianapolis to the Chinese to make their bills.

Yeah, I sent a note to Ableton about this a few weeks ago. It's a little hit-and-miss. Sometimes the main page is blocked but not the forum (!?), sometimes the whole site is blocked.

Maybe there was someone named Joe Ableton who did something offensive to the Chinese at some point? Dunno. I haven't been able to figure out why this site should be the subject of censorship. The forum I guess I could see, on the general principle that musicians write a lot of censorworthy stuff but the product and support pages etc.? Can't figure it out.

Probably the iPad thread in The Lounge. They don't want any more teens selling their kidneys to get in on the Capitalist action.

I think pretty soon the only access we will have soon is chinese sites...you know, gov't shutdown and all...
