"What an absolute joke! Speaking has someone who could care less about Netflix OR Foxtel OR any of these corporations. Where do they get off trying to lobby to get rid of VPN's just because someone may be trying to download something or watch something on their crappy network.
PLEASE NETFLIX DON'T COME TO AUSTRALIA!
PLEASE FOXTEL AND OPTUS GET LOST!
PLEASE HOLLYWOOD DON'T RELEASE YOUR CRAPPY MOVIES HERE!
WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR RUBBISH SHOWS, I DON'T AND SO I DON'T WANT THE EQUIVALENT OFA STRIP SEARCH WHEN I LEAVE THE STORE AS SOMEONE MAY BE TRYING TO STEAL A MARS BAR!"
I also don't care about the rubbish media that they are trying to protect AT ALL, and so I agree with the quote from the Whirlpool user above that it is ludicrous that these corporations are demanding so much oversight from ISP's and the Australian govermnet.
Has anyone just told them to go pedal their rubbish somewhere else. Look at the reports on Murdoch making a huge profit in Australia and then using suspect methods to shift the profit offshore. The Fox has the cheek to cry that some maybe watching their rubbish without paying! What a ridiculous hypocrite. The mostly awful music industry and the BBC should be told to tell it to someone who cares. The BBC for has put out some good miniseries and documentaries, but also some absolute moronic rubbish as well.
The media should do a real survey and ask Australian users what they think Foxtel the BBC the MPAA and the rest of them should do. Which will probably be told to either make the stuff available for a reasonable price and stop trying to price gouge for it, or just pissoff.
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by AUSTRALIAN_NET_USER.
Why is every NET user going to be strip-searched when leaving a shop in case someone is trying to steal a Mars Bar.
As one user on Whirlpool Australia states:
