Great Australian Internet Blackout
 

Well LOTR

It seems that my previous post about http://www.gnutellaforums.com/lounge...tml#post351168 is actually happening.

I hope you guys can put a stop to this nonsense or else you will end up with a "Chinese style" censorship system and this will signal that it's OK for other western governments to do the same thing.

A small victory for common sense against the forces of world domination: Australian ISP cleared of copyright infringement

That's my ISP lol .. I saw the news online yesterday but forgot to post about it. iiNet slays Hollywood in landmark piracy case :idea:

uh, is this to protect the world from Australian users or to aid Dumfukistani paranoids?

Quote from the Getup! Action for Australia Campaign site:
'When the Federal Government made a 2007 election promise that would force internet providers to block access to websites which were 'Refused Classification', GetUp immediately began a grassroots movement against the threat to Australia's online freedom. We commissioned a petition that brought support from over 140,000 Australians; flooded Q and A with questions that challenged the legitimacy of Stephen Conroy's policy; and raised over $125,000 to put our Censordyne ad on the air. The Opposition and the Greens have both decided not to support the policy - meaning that the government is unable to pass the legislation. Special thanks to EFA for their partnership on this campaign.'
