He [MPAA CEO Charles Rivkin] added that almost 60 countries use site-blocking as a tool against piracy, "including leading democracies and many of America's closest allies." The only reason why the US isn't one of them, he continued, is the "lack of political will, paired with outdated understandings of what site-blocking actually is, how it functions, and who it affects."

Rainlendar is good and works on Windows and Linux. It's not open source though, and some features such as Caldav support require a pro license for €10
