Following the untimely demise of proposed anti-piracy laws SOPA and PIPA, five Internet service providers (specifically AT&T, Cablevision Systems, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon) worked with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Obama administration to create another set of protocols to stop digital pirates in their tracks.

In local news, even though the government has abandoned plans for an internet filter, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy says internet services providers (ISPs) have instead been issued with orders to block websites listed on Interpol's 'worst of' database.
Quote:
"We've reached agreement with all of the telco service providers that they will block the worst of the worst - the child abuse pornography material that's available on the public internet," Senator Conroy told AM.
"Police have issued notices to a whole range of companies, and the few remaining companies that make up about 10 per cent will (soon) start receiving notices."

On top of this, the popular internet file sharing site the Pirate Bay has been under constant DDoS attack this month.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the coming months.
DDos attack - Is this the reason why TPG is telling me that i have been sending unwanted traffic and that I have trojan virus?
No, it's just a 'denial of service' meaning you can't access the site. There are no errors, the page just times out.Quote:

Don't worry about the mass jobs losses in the manufacturing industry or job creation, or a plan for the economy which looks to go into recession in the near future.
but they don't have a mandate to bring this in:confused:
Didnt they say they weren't going to bring this in. Tony wouldn't lie to me would he?:rolleyes:
The amusing thing is that Rupert and his ilk think that if he can stop me downloading stuff then I will cough up for pay tv. What he fails to realise is that I will simply not watch tv anymore ;)
