Schools block it, Rickard says basketball court
Ludvika blocks LunarStorm in its schools, where 75% of pupils are active. Rickard: blocking it is like taking away the basketball court.
Blocking access to LunarStorm during breaks is like taking away the basketball court … This is at least as important for the individual as knowing about Napoleon.
- Early evidence: in February 2003 a pupil complained that the school had blocked LunarStorm and its proxy port.
- June 2004: 72% of pupils at a school in Falkenberg were members (degree project).
- Rickard's draft op-ed: LunarStorm is “the jazz, rock or dreadful video of the 2000s”.
- Ludvika municipality blocked it in March 2004; the company chose dialogue with the municipal leadership rather than a debate in the media.
