Although i think the government has the right idea when it comes to the internet filter, they are going about it completely the wrong way. We are heading very quickly towards having a chinese-like internet if this goes ahead. The fact of the matter is it is near impossible to 'accidentally' find child pornography online, the sites that are easy to find, there are i'm sure lists of and these should be blocked. What also interests me is the governments proposal to limit file sharing measures. Why not spend this money increasing our bandwidth capabilities so we are not 20 years behind? Whilst i think the corporations should be able to take legal action against people if they have proof of sharing, the only way limit file sharing would impact totally legal ways of sharing in a p2p way as well. The people that still want to do illegal things shall still do so, people will use VPN's routed through countries other than Australia, people will use encryption, so this won't hurt that either. Send the money increasing our Web capabilities rather than trying to box in what it should be.
