Australian Government Redacts Anti-Piracy Consultation Paper

Posted by samzenpus on from the on-second-thought dept.

First time accepted submitter coolstoryhansel writes "You might have heard the Australian Attorney-General published a consultation paper considering the implementation of a streamlined process of getting private information about subscribers from ISPs? Well perhaps not. The Attorney-General's Department have now apparently redacted that document, removing all mention of the controversial proposal, without telling anyone."

      Well then I judge you by your use of capitalization. You're currently failing. Oxford is a proper noun.

      "Proper"? Well, la-di-da, mr MC Hammer. Oxford is a freaking name of a place. We put big letters on those, frenchie.

    An hour had gone by on Slashdot without an Australian story. But luckily samzenpus has saved the day.

    Up next: "Australian Man Buys New iPod".

    Followed by: "Australian Teen Discovers C#".

    Then: "Australian Telco Does Something Or Other".

    And: "Australians Beg World To Love Them Long Time".

    Finally: "Australians Unfriend World For Failing To Love Them Long Time".

    Epilogue: "Several Slashdot Editors Commit Suicide-By-Dingo".

    And nothing of value was lost...
