These guys are soooo afraid not to lose control of the propaganda machine it's not funny.

Currently in Australia there is a media monopoly (Rupert Murdoch & Co) and it's very easy for the government to brainwash the population.

They'll do it any cost. Guess who'll be implementing the filtering and will be in charge of what goes on the "list" – the Australian Federal Police. They will be logging user's online behavior etc apart of restricting access to sites they find a threat.

Bravo Australia you are leading the way to fascism. The lucky country – what a joke.

No wonder… Our prime minister speaks Chinese, Australia has tightened relationships with China, and now we are going to have a great firewall of Down_Under, similar to the great firewall of China, only this one will be approached with different attitude: she'll be right mate, from ever taking it easy Aussies.

Good work Australia.

Such truth should shake the very souls of all those who set their eyes upon it. Sadly this will not occur, for the very same reasons which spurred Roze to type this comment in the first place. It's a sad world we live in today and the outlook is bleak indeed. Many victims of the holocaust allowed fear and denial to overtake them, and this ultimately resulted in their most untimely deaths under terrible circumstances.

Will we learn from history and will we heed the advice of those who witnessed or even experienced such atrocities? It appears we will not, and by ignoring these points we damn ourselves as well as our children to lives of slave labor at best, or at worst horrific suffering and premature death.

It is my hope that millions begin to awaken from their privileged slumbers, even as a large portion of the globe starves to death for no reason other than to increase the profits of a few U.S. and British corporations. I say, if there is a 'god' or higher consciousness, may it help us all. We're in a lot of trouble.

It amazes me how the government always finds convenient ways to waste money on things like a filter for the internet (as if Australia and the world doesn't have more important issues) but for things that people need or care about, there isn't enough money. Why not put the millions of dollars wasted in this into education, health care, infrastructure… something that has a purpose?

With Stephen Harper and the Conservatives in power here in Canada, I fear that we'll be seeing this here soon. That, and the new copyright law and that stupid bill that was supposed to make unlocking your GSM cell phone illegal.

Ahh government. You never cease to amaze me.

Of course you give a crap if i think your a plant your still commenting here. Here comes some more social engineering "you're paranoid" ooohh you must not be a plant its just my paranoia hahahahahaha. Movie/Music industry has nothing to worry about you fool, it's the mpaa/riaa that are worried & their employees namely YOU. Yes you do eat the industries alive don't you once you fill them full of FUD then claim to protect their rights with a farcical law which is only aimed at making money off them & taking away their rights. Achieving nothing….we are achieving plenty, otherwise you wouldn't be posting here. I read your last post & laughed so hard, poisoning the well aaahahahahahahaha been on google have you. We are here cause we want to be here, you are here cause you are made & paid to be here. It is plain as day in your posts, if you weren't paid to be here you wouldn't be here posting your negative comments about file sharing.

Suck that big scaly pecker…SUCK IT!

FreeTard/stfu/exct is im sure the same tard i have seen on a stack of other sites forums saying the same basic shit over and over, he/she is eather 1. employed by the mafiaa or 2. somebody who makes money from adds and by selling content other people make/create.

I saw almost the exect same post a wile back about adblocking, how its anti industry/commerce, when the fact is most ppl wouldnt block adds if they wherent so damn annoing, we already pay to have internet why should we have to deal with annoing flash/shock adds when doing it?

I pirat stuff, Not gonna say i dont, but fact is when i pirat stuff Its normaly because i REFUSE to buy it thanks to limmitations like EA games where i can only install the game 3-5 times b4 i get the fun of BEGGING EA to let me have "one more please" (utter bullshit!!!!!)

these copyright laws need to be revised to keep up with the times and socity, content makers can still make BANK selling their wares be it moveis, music, games/programs or whatever It is a FALICY that these companys are being killed by piracy If you make a ggood product and price it so that people can afford it IT WILL SELL, looks at sins of a solar empire, NO DRM, avalable on damn neer any torrent/ed2k site, yet its sold MILLONS of copys, infact many "pirats" have bought it same with Oblivion, hell i know ppl that HATE the game who bought it because it was DRM free and they waned to support that!!!!

Well, it sure seems like you care enough, or are worried enough to stay on this blog and carry on the discussion.

It is not that one cannot have a different opinion without being paid; rather, it is that one cannot have an opinion which is clearly false, which only someone out of their mind would have – without being paid. The fact is that you clearly have no case for your position, and it would make no sense for anyone to posit such a position for so long without being paid.

By the way, discussion, or "whining" as you call it, is not fruitless, since the exchange of ideas between people is very important.
