Chojin | Sounds like there's a story to go with that comment. | |

Tadao | It's not something that can be policed, but it is something that can be used against you if the D.A. doesn't like you. | |

Dr. Boogie | Doesn't China already have pretty strict control over internet access? | |

People really need to stop being so stupid about the internet and start appreciating it's not something which can be policed in any reasonable way. The only way I can see them being able to apply laws universally across the Internet is if they come up with an international agreement whereby all countries must agree on a set of rules which they will all enforce... which would never happen. Another example of stupidity on the 'net is how France have just introduced new laws making it illegal to run pro-anorexia websites (who knew they even existed). The first problem with this which is immediately apparent is that probably only a tiny, insignificant fraction of such sites are hosted in France, so what are they going to do? Put up great firewall of China to block them all? Good luck with that. |

Sethomas | Well, I'm pretty sure I know what Anthony Comstock would have to say about all this. If only we had a government body that existed to read everyone's email in case something interesting gets said, 'cuz then we'd know if something interesting had been said. | |

I doubt any form of government would be in any hurry to offer internet access like that. It kind of makes sense when they treat it like that though. Also, fuck the MPAA. Who are they to demand ISPs cut off their customers? This reminded me to turn on peerguardian more often though |

ISPs VS MPAA / Internet as a goverment service http://asia.cnet.com/blogs/geekonomi...196&scid=hm_bl So, the MPAA is tooling around the world, telling ISPs to cut off their customers for getting movies and television shows illegally. Most are conceding, one in Norway isn't, and that's what the article's supposed to be about. But I thought this was more interesting: Quote:
