And this is the toned down version of this shitty shitty law. And the only possibility of it being overturned is if a politician gets caught out. Though even then only if it's one of the small fry, and only if the labels don't quietly pay the fine to make the argument go away.

And as a NZer I say thank fuck, and about time Aussie. Our games were always getting screwed over since the distributors are for Aus and NZ, and so we keep getting your overly censored crap. If we got it at all.
Good god. Why am I not surprised though. And if course it's popular with the older ones, stuff like that always is. Not all older people, mind, but certainly they do tend to have more clinging to the old ways.

Hey, copyright maximalists. You know how you love the word theft, or stealing, even though they are completely inappropriate? This is a case where it IS theft, plain and simple.Taking money from a customer and then refusing to hand over the product is stealing, and should be punished as such.
At the risk of being ridiculed, wtf is a voting machine exactly? Is it like that touch screen in the video? Only ask because here we still use good old pen & paper, then count the votes afterwards.Don't seem to have had too many problems, that I recall, after working a few elections.
Ignoring the whole copying is not stealing bit for a moment...by his reasoning every map maker ever should be sued for enabling people to find stores/countries to steal (from). Oh wait, Google do make maps. Obviously it's just part of their nefarious plot to steal everything from everyone.
