Wow Richie, 10 months down the track and your spot on. Look at the Rudd Government is trying to do with the internet now. Makes the Howard Gov's attempt almost look good.

"The current goverment needs to learn from this incredible misuse of funds and resources and come to the realisation that they cannot control the Internet."

If only Rudd had taken note of this.

Krudd will be a total disappointment when it comes to the internet (and most other things it seems).

"The current goverment needs to learn from this incredible misuse of funds and resources and come to the realisation that they cannot control the Internet. And that goes for trying to force ISPs to tackle piracy as well."

AMEN, BROTHER!

Well I would have to say I would prefer to have a "useless" porn filter than complete and utter censorship like what the labor proposal is now.
Matt if they get this through parliment we will be more like China than you would expect. Scary stuff.

It will cost 5 times that amount for the government to attempt to stop piracy and the money will go to the exact same place, down the toilet. Heck, put the money into forcing labels into marketing more realistic prices for cds and dvds, like what has happened in China, rather than the 20-30 dollars we shell out each time.
