Australia Wants to Regulate Internet Streaming

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-you-streaming-mate dept.

Paul writes "After an incident that occurred on a popular television show's internet stream, the Australian government has once again demonstrated that it simply does not understand the internet by indicating that they intend to regulate streaming video. I wonder what these geniuses plan on doing with porn streamed from Europe?"

    Crazy bitch didn't get her way, so now she's sucking her thumb and stamping her feet.

    Yesterday, the Australian Communications and Media Authority found that because Channel 10 did not broadcast the footage of the incident on TV, the television codes did not apply.

    This incident was never broadcast on Channel 10, and even if it had been broadcast it wouldn't have breached the MA 15+ classification as indicated by the fact that a number of other media organisations aired it."


    Much ado about nothing.
