[原文連結/翻譯：Judy]奧運精采落幕，並不表示大陸對網路的封鎖限制也隨之落幕，最近蘋果整個iTunes音樂商店都被大陸的防火牆封鎖，原因可能和其提供與西藏獨立運動有關的專輯下載有關。 這張名為「寫給西藏的歌(Songs for Tibets)」的專輯，版稅收入會捐給由達賴喇嘛創辦的非營利組織和平藝術基金會(Art of Peace Foundation)，包括大衛馬修(Dave Matthews)、蕾吉娜史派克特(Regina Spector)、蘇珊薇加(Suzanne Vega)、史汀(Sting)及艾拉妮絲莫莉塞特(Alanis Morissette)都為這張專輯跨刀，在奧運期間，成為許多選手最愛下載的專輯之一，基金會的執行董事Michale Wohl表示，日前曾發布新聞報導超過40位奧運選手曾下載該張專輯，可能因而引發整起封鎖事件。 對大陸的iPod用戶來說，這可能不是件好消息，不過iTunes本來就沒有直接進入大陸市場，蘋果的高層可能也不會太難過，更何況......遲早會有人找到翻牆的方法。

The Chinese government may have assured the International Olympic Committee that reporters would enjoy Western freedoms while covering the Olympic games, such as unfettered access to the Internet. Once on the ground, however, journalists have discovered that's not exactly the case, and the IOC has been busy backtracking, now clarifying that open Web access is only for sites about "Olympic competitions" — not, say, Amnesty International, one of many sites that has been blocked. The ...
