The EBay auction I blogged about earlier turns out to be blocked for a bunch of people -- including myself, when I check it from home. EBay has voluntarily blocked German IP addresses from accessing auctions of Nazi memorabilia. Now, the item in question is an Enigma machine, which is not exactly prime fetish material, but I guess it counts under German law. It's interesting how wide EBay's net is, though. I'm in Worldcom IP space at home -- I wonder if EBay blocks all of Worldcom? Or if not, why the chunk of IP space I'm in?

My IP is squarely in Disney's territory, in the area that SmartCity has set aside for the Walt Disney World parks and resorts. Which means that eBay is blocking Disney. Interesting...
