do i wait for the local retailers to stock it at the same price at the same time as the rest of the world, or do i buy online and have it delivered it straight to my door?

I'm pretty sure buying stuff online isn't prevented yet till the government or big studios find a way of preventing it.Quote:

Sorry Murdoch I'll buy a vpn before I get foxtel.
Want my money? Chuck it on netflix or hope I like it enough to get the blu-ray.
Yay, once again the Australian government has bowed to big business.Quote:

Sure, I can see why they made the move, but I suspect that if more people had access to legal ways of getting the shows sooner they would take them. Foxtel is BS with their subscription bizzo and charges, even then they seem to get stuff late.
Next step, making sure they slap gst on EVERY item that comes in the mail.
Oh and isn't youtube a streaming site?
fire up those vpns
Yep I was pretty disappointed to hear this bill got passed, it shows a complete lack of leadership within the opposition as well as complete ignorance of advice provided to the government on real solutions to tackling internet piracy within Australia. This draconian piece of legislation has not only proven to be ineffective in other countries in which it has been implemented, but it also has the complete opposite effect of what it's intention is.
Watch internet piracy grow even more in Australia now as the people vote with their pockets. Goodbye Foxtel and other crappy companies using outdated business models, and F U government for failing the people once again.
The VPN business is about to become even more lucrative thanks to the Australian Parliament. It's OK Mr Hockey, this is simply Australian's "going out there and having a go!".
VPN's will be blocked too fellas. Download the internet while you still can!
It's to please their lobbyist and backers. The motivation for this doesn't go beyond that.Quote:
