Something very unsettling about a government mandating ISPs block/sniff/track your internet traffic on behalf of the film industry.

If only the government was equally motivated to remedy injustices incurred by those who aren't already filthy rich.

Don't worry this isn't a concerted effort to actually block things. Its a pretty weak effort to go through the motions.

If your tuned into this debate at a federal level there are a vocal bunch of senators bemoaning the Australia tax that our geography puts on us. These guys put out info on how to use vpns and avoid geoblocking and such for the masses.

Best in show example: Adobe software and Game of thrones.

Australians want to work, trade and play in the free first world. And until we get that we'll steal everything that isn't nailed down.

A bunch of convicts the lot of us.

For the record, we stopped being a penal colony about 15 years before the US stopped being a slave-using nation...

But good to see the Australian sense of humou?r still survives.</irony>

So, not yet then ... ah, you meant a legal slave using nation ...

Article is about Australia yet people still have to take jabs at the US.

I'm not really sure what you mean anyway.

Probably talking about things like this: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/09/prison-...

I believe he is implying that there is still slavery on-going in the US, and will be going on for 15 more years at least.

Isn't it really "the justice system through legal trials" instead of "the government"?
