I don't know why, for the life of me, why Conroy is obsessed with this.

I honestly thought the facts of the case would see this idiocy stopped before it got started. Once again I give our political system too much credit. I doubt Senator Conroy and his supporters even know what a proxy or p2p are.

God-fucking-dammit.

So what does that mean for SG? And when they say people can get around it, will that be an option or just a rumour?
scotty:
Oh wait, it doesn't actually say anything about porn....
ladymillay:
I don't know enough about proxies to know if I could get around it. Anyone?

I know AbbyWinters is on the ACMA blacklist: http://www.somebodythinkofthechildren.com/legal-adult-websites-blacklisted-abbywinters-and-the-hun-banned/

Wow. So they're actually going through with it then?
s_eldorado:
They need to get voted out of power right quick.

i think thats a brilliant idea to protect people from seeing things of that nature, but that is ALOT of money.
