Ummm….they’re TV shows and movies….In that sense it’s pretty much English is English 95% of the time. In terms of written language then yes ok Australian ENGLISH is only very very slightly different to British ENGLISH, unlike american English which is pretty much just wrong in terms of written English :P
But hey, I here so much about how the american education system is so bad, so I suppose it must be difficult to teach people proper english, let alone how to translate not so good american english into what-everyone-else-speaks english :P
So I guess I totally agree with you on that point….lol

lol ..

They should use Bablefish’s ‘From English to English’ option. lol

Ben how much damage to the filesharing cause can one little boy do? why does Ernesto even permit your posts?

aarrgh you pirate you. you are the stand up criminal

piss your pants and wear yellow the color of cowardice

I’m as pissed off at the copyright cartels as the next guy, but it’s hard to take an article like this very seriously when it’s built on one huge assumption. Without evidence that those movies got there illegally there is no crime here.

But having said that, the SA police get even less respect for simply not bothering to investigate.

A recent audit of computer systems belonging to the South Australia Police has found that hundreds are being used to “share” films. In a move smacking of hypocrisy though, officers involved will not be charged….

As humorous as i find this, honestly the coppers who were doing this have little to fear.
The only reason it was illegal is because they were using the police computers to download, and the police force is a business interest.
Had they done the same activity on their home computers they would have not been in breach of the copyright law.

Take this as serious warning though. If you happen to download on your work computer, stop now. The company you work for is a for-profit business and cannot be involved in filesharing. Your work, not you, will be taken to court. They will be found guilty, and of course they will pass the blame to you. You will be fired and possibly have to go to civil court.

Downloading and copying is completly legal here in australia, but only for civilians in a non-profit situation, not for government agencies or corporations.[/quote]

So all this time I was led to believe that it’s illegal here when it’s actually not? But the fact that I thought it may have been but downloaded anyway I guess makes me dishonest. But no. If I believed that I’d have no music or movie collection now instead of the huge one I have but don’t know where and how it will ever end

Right on, anyway. I’m sure many members of many authoritative agencies do the same thing (hopefully not using their work computers).[/quote]

Why should they tie up their home PC when they have much better faster ones at work, it’s free, and they can control what they do with it.

The fact that they would not be charged was brought out earlier by another poster.

Anyway they should be left alone. They leave filesharers alone, and don’t proscribe to all the RIAA crap . They’re not stupid, they know what’s going on.

Priceless. Does this set some kind of precedent for civilians?[/quote]
Not at all. Besides, I don’t see what’s wrong with sharing and downloading movies or TV episodes. We record them legally anyway. What’s the problem? Coz we don’t have to watch the ads? I never do and don’t know anyone who doesn’t hate them.
