ARIA Threatens To Sue Internet Service Providers

tymbow writes "It seems that ARIA (The Australian Record Industry Association, like the RIAA) is threatening to sue ISPs who allow the illegal download of copyrighted music. Could this lead to a situation where Australian ISPs are forced to actively censor websites and P2P protocols? What happens to legitimate P2P content like Linux distributions? It will be interesting to see where this goes."

    Is there a bot somewhere posting this crud? I don't find it offensive, but I do find it boring and undeserving of first-post - is this the best you can come up with?

    Driving back from a concert I noticed a store whih aparently specialized in Tatoos and Drug Paraphenalia. I wonder if any of these stores get sued when a druggie runs someone over crossing the streat. Or perhaps an even better example, has any drunk driving accident victim sued the bar which sold them the drink?

    But let's leave the newly-stretched Greta for a moment, as well as our friends Stanley and Ishmael (no joke, his real name). A brief overview of the situation is always valuable, so as a service to all Americans who still don't get it, I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few paragraphs, which is all you really need. Don't thank me. I'm a giver.

    i mean it was founded as a prison colony, the population made it's way by subjagating other races, and wiping out hordes of amazing wildlife.

    it would be more of a concern is nigeria or mozambique had these problems, at least they have a future and some kind of cultural identity.

    the descendants of the criminally insane seek to screw around with your freedoms...i wonder if their leaders secretly masturbate to photos of America's bushy administration?
