It’s typical of most governments.. especially the UK government. first we got the congestion charges, increased taxes on petrol, and now the government wants internet service providers to police their networks. Hmmm theres only so much that people can do. I wonder if the government are gonna take their fat hands out of their pockets and put something back into society instead of being fat overweight obese buerocrats and lining their pockets… no wonder why so many people actually do benefit fraud in the UK. Anyway getting back on track. There will always be a way for people to obtain anything on the internet, but one thing they really do have to think about, is the fact that there are organisations in the world who make a fortune selling pirated material, and when this crap actually comes into play, then boy are they gonna make some serious cash..
IF theres any gov officials reading this.. then plz feel free to take note of this following message.. get off your fat lazy cellulite ridden backside and do something constructive with your position.

First Australia has the highest tax for international Internet traffic, then they add this.
It’s like their government wants to see it’s population fail the transition to information based economy.
Glad I’m not living there…

@166 Onyx,

“Bizarre stereotypes of Aussie culture still prevail !!”

But you do have boxing kangaroos hopping around your towns, right?

We need to standardise encryption over p2p : p2pE
Then they will stfu

Proportionality is lost with this law. The internet has become to intertwined with everything else, disallowing access for trivial matters wouldn’t hold up in a reasonable court.

One example, is the increased value of the internet in finding gainful employment. Restricting access to gainful employment is a pretty big no no.

Maybe it’s time for the public to make politicians aware that passing such laws means their job and their government is history.

Mr. Rudd don’t be a Dudd! As I understand, you were a modernist that was all for public freedom rights. During your interview about terrorism in Australia, you freely expressed how it might be important to keep security high but without undermining public freedom and privacy in the country. I see this (the ISP UK Piracy laws) encroaching towards the same path. Please be a good prime minister now and hurry up building your fibre optic network without undermining the populous freedom.

Good Boy!

I’d also like to state in a recent survery over 60% people declared they had downloaded something freely. Surely you can’t incriminate all the people. Corporations keep whinging they’re losing so many billions, last time I looked they were making billions. If these laws come into play downunder then you can sure bet your sore arses that the people here will revolt and boycott your crappy music, movies and other forms of degenerative entertainment media. So the buck stops here.

Oh dear, no surprise the Australian Sheep-shaggers would succumb to this. Laws there are quite zenophobic. It reminded me of when I was in england and all those Yorkshire sheep-shaggers, strange places.

Most of these proposals are based on the assumption that everything downloaded illegally, would be paid for if p2p was stopped. Which is complete nonsense, no matter what you read, Hollywood is doing okay. People still pay for movies, look at the dvd sales and performance of cinemas in Britain for proof, if those “6 million” downloaders in Britain never paid for film or music, then these industries would be crippled in the UK.

Its all a lie, I doubt these proposals will become law, firstly because they are unenforceable, and secondly they will be defeated in debate in the British and Australian Parliament. The Labour Party in Britain are finding it hard to win debates on real issues like ID cards, I really can’t see such an invasion of privacy like this getting through.
