Who's been messing with my Earth?
The news of this week: the government here decided it would be a good idea to block Google Earth. This makes it one of the few countries in the world to do so. It was down last monday, it was down again today. You can open the program but it won't stream any of the places that you haven't already been to. You get an error message about the connection with the server...
interesting aye. I have never enjoyed the privilage of having my internet so oppenly restricted. Conspiracy theorists abound as to why... the government has been turning the service on and off again all week.

Hey John,
It sucks that the government has resorted to such measures. If you're really keen to use the program (or any others that are restricted), you could try using one of the anonymous proxies (provided they haven't blocked those!) that will route your internet traffic and access the site (such as the Google Earth servers) in an indirect way.
