Which just goes to prove that pollies still haven't begun to grasp the
nature of the global information society. If I have content on a server
they don't like and want to regulate, I'll just move the site to a server
in another country...or even on a ship cruising international waters with a
large satellite uplink. That's what England's pirate radio stations did
back in the '60s to overcome the BBC's monopoly and in the process opened
up the radio market in England. History repeats...
