Party colours means jack shit, because as someone above correctly said, they’re all on the corporate payroll.

“…At the other extreme, a radically decentralized approach would allow the spontaneous emergence of bottom-up mobile networks. Within an open ‘spectrum commons’, autonomous radios would assemble as needed to create ad-hoc mesh networks that require no centralized control. Assuming a dense enough distribution of such radios, network coverage would
become nearly ubiquitous. Collectively, the end-devices would control how the network is used. New communication services could be invented and implemented at the edge of the network, and propagated throughout the network from peer to peer.”

The 3 strike lol thats been a flop around the world.
Graduated response that has been ignored in places around the world as just spam and blocked by peoples spam filters.
Censorship trial was a flop
The Government would like to have a Chinese style censorship in place…
The Government lied to the people.
Just like work choices aka rename fair work with a little adjustment.
Parts of Australia are on there way to been police states.
If your Caucasian the laws discriminate against you the work places now discriminate even tho are better qualified.
Other races discriminate against you
And they call us the lucky country Bullshit.
Some of us think we should go buy an island so we can go live in peace.
All we wants is a fair Go…
Maybe its time to support the pirate party some unionist agree we should support these guys for a fair a Australia because the alp and labor parties etc have failed us all…

Nooooo Way..

As the article says, all the major ISPs hate Conroy, known not only in his own country, but internationaly.

“Conroy?!” they spit out disgustedly. “Bah! What an arrogant twat!”

His name is similar to “Mordor.” We should not, as Gandalf said, utter it here.

Nice lying, fucker.

Here’s what you had to say regarding Conroy’s new ‘Internet Villian of the Year’ moniker just one comment ago:

BioShockerT81
“I guess he got a bit “too close of succeeding” and pirates got afraid of him and felt they had to publicly ridicule him.”

I give your lie an A+ for boldness, but an F- for believability. You’re like a kid swearing through a mouthfull of half-chewed Oreos that he didn’t just rob the cookie jar.

Can you read, you stupid bastard?

Conroy wasn’t named Internet Villian of the Year by filesharers. He was named Internet Villian of the Year by ISPs at the 11th annual Internet Industry Awards.

Please try again.

around $5 per month should pay for many more artists and general creators than the current intermediary-infested system pays for today.

So besides taxes and paying for getting screwed by governments everywhere now people have to pay taxes to the entertainment industry too because they are indispensable to the survival of humanity?

I need to declare independence somewhere from this types.

It only make sense to people who believe that:

1 – Filters really work.
2 – It will be used as planed.
3 – Things never go wrong.

Now if people look at the record of any filtering system in history you see some commom things that happen.

- Filters get bypassed.
- Governments abuse and try to silence the opposition.
- Many innocent people get caught and are victimized for life.

The australian government indeed put more sites to censor that it planned or admit doing so.

See the ACMA proposed blacklist spill:

The kiddy pron stuff is just a shield for the real intentions of people in power and that is to gain more control. It doesn’t matter if they pass the law or not it will be circumvented but it erodes the civil liberties of the people, no one would try to shield a child molester, no one would let their children in harms way on the internet they would find a solution on their own they don’t need government mandates to do it, people are capable of doing it themselves and all the laws that already exist give the people the power to act upon their needs.

around $5 per month should pay for many more artists and general creators than the current intermediary-infested system pays for today.

it is debatable whether or not a solution of this type could scale appropriately. there are different sized players in every game, different levels of accomplishment and reward, and artists like employees and business owners all have different goals. many believe this would pave the way for more “weekend artists” while at the same time drastically reducing the chances of professional artists actually being able to support themselves with their art.

Going under the guise of “oh we need to protect children from being abused and exploited by child m*lestors, and we need to shield them from p*rnography; so therefore we must stop the piracy of music and movies” is an old trick often used by the RIAA/MPAA in order to scare politicians and lawmakers in to pushing and passing new copyright amendment laws.

All the while the RIAA/MPAA-type organizations themselves are guilty of harming children and families financially, emotionally and mentally.

Yeah, they’re out to protect the children. I think not.

the fact that this a contemporary topic all the better for him

Sure I agree you MUST be VERY careful that Internet filtering must ONLY be used to protect children from adult material (pron and violent and any other type of generally recognized adult-only materials).

Again, one CAN tag the majority of online adut contents, same way Google tags adult images in “Safe Search”, add to it that the Government could ask for tens of thousands of volunteer adult web surfers, to install simple Web Browser plugins that allows all those users to help the Government keep up to date the database over the Adult-only contents. Databases over servers that host it and sites that link to it. But MOST of it will be blocked since MOST of it is COMMERCIAL adult content (trying to take a credit card payment at some point in the browsing session), thus MOST adult sites will be OBLIGATED to simply register their servers and their content on that Adult-only database IF they want to LEGALLY do business in that country. The Government can easily block money transactions and punish businesses who try to circumvent the Adult-only list.

Anyways, I think you need to give Conroy a break. He is the ONLY one who cares about the really BAD situation children are being left in, where ALL CHILDREN are just a click away from GRAVELY psychologically DISTURBING adult contents.
