Something very unsettling about a government mandating ISPs block/sniff/track your internet traffic on behalf of the film industry.

If your tuned into this debate at a federal level there are a vocal bunch of senators bemoaning the Australia tax that our geography puts on us. These guys put out info on how to use vpns and avoid geoblocking and such for the masses. Best in show example: Adobe software and Game of thrones. Australians want to work, trade and play in the free first world. And until we get that we'll steal everything that isn't nailed down.

- gtirloni 10y agoIsn't it really "the justice system through legal trials" instead of "the government"?
