Aussies Brace for DMCA

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spreading-the-love dept.

Linux Australia has kicked off the campaign with iownmydvds.org and iownmymusic.org."

      No, it was a lame attempt at a joke on the parent poster's part. He said that HE started a campaign. But the site he mentioned, like many instances in his life, has DNS problems because he just just couldn't get it up.

    John Howard it so firmly in the pocket of George W. that Mr. Bush's phone gets scratched on the Aussie leaders glasses...

    No, you are also wrong. Australia is actually the 51st state of USA. Perhaps you were thinking of New Zealand?

    I always preferred "John Howard is so far up George W. Bush's arse that he can see the bottom of Tony Blair's feet."
