i am an aussie AND i use iinet for my internet
they are a great isp they try to do the right thing and they admit when they fuck up and make it right.
they made there name years ago with offering reasionable deals with internet when the big players “telstra and optus” where charging people over $200 for less then 5GB a month downloads and that was only 6 years ago not the freaking dark ages.
They are a good company and i proudly support them.

now excuse me i need to go and short the stock of some assholes.

Go on, keep deceiving yourself into thinking that way – it won’t change the fact that the rest of us know how wrong you are.

So, if I put up some 3MB text files with file-names that contain the title of currently popular tracks, does that invalidate their claim? Since the file-names in not concrete proof of a copyright law being broken?

while were at it all the BASEBALL BAT MANUFACTURERS and GUN MAKERS BEWARE THIS IS THE SAME FIGHT FOR YOU
YOUR MAKING MONEY OFF VIOLENCE AND CRIME WE NEED TO GET RID OF ALL GUNS AND BATS

“It’s also interesting to note that iiNet are the ISP responsible for effectively killing the mandatory censorship of Australian Internet traffic by pulling out of the government’s current test of the “great firewall of Australia”.

Seems like the only ISP with any balls in Aus.”

Unfortunately they haven’t killed the “great firewall of Australia” as there are still a number of small ISP’s that are stupid enough to sign up for it.

Also they aren’t the only ISP with balls in Australia, most of the rest, including the two largest told the govenrment to go get fuc%ed when asked to participate in the trial in the first place.

Also, the reason why these MPAA wannabe’s went after the third largest ISP is they know it’s still tiny in comparison to the two largest and is a much easier target with less resources for their legal team. Tackle the small fry, set a precedent in court then use it to shaft the rest.

These parasites and their legal representatives should all go somewhere and die.

Well, I do not have research to counter your claim above, but I do know that there was recently a large uproar on the Internet in my country about certain actions of the government and eventually they retracted their plan.

I do not know if it was in any part or how big a part due to the online action, but perhaps you or someone else can offer some evidence to back up the claim. On the other hand I know several large IRL demonstations that produced nothing!

I do enjoy my free movies and music and games and software, thanks for asking. I think you’re being a bit melodramatic with the other stuff tho. Look around you, the world has changed, move with it, or get left behind.

Look around you. It’s been closing in for years and the closing won’t stop. The only thing you’ll succeed in “destroying” is the privacy we all once enjoyed on the network.
Hope you like your free movies and stuff. You are illegal and not terribly smart. You traded your liberties for it.

Nub cakes…..I mean retarded mind u know your going down with the rest of corporate whores, can’t wait for 2010

2010 FTW :0)

Haha, No start of story! greedy media companies, politicians on the take just engage in fear and extortion all for the sake of money. Well I hope Village Roadshow, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Disney Enterprises, Inc. and the Seven Network all choke on their money. We may be “thieving cowards” but we came up with the tech that’s destroying your redundant business.

The ISP I’m with (in Australia) has a 3 strike policy. I learnt the good way =]
