It's now illegal to access a site you've been banned from. More info can be found here. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/08/changing-ip-address-to-access-public-website-ruled-violation-of-us-law/

Are they really doing this? To access a site you've been banned from is now illegal?
TTA's right that's hardly going to stop anyone.

If I'm interpreting that article (and some of the comments on said article) right, changing your IP to access something you've been banned from isn't really illegal, but using a random proxy to hide yourself and access something you've been banned from is.

It won't stop anyone, but it will discourage it I suppose
