Does anybody else besides me think this is stupid? Not only is this a stiflement of freedom of expression, it is also a misuse of Copyright law! Why would a MULTI MILLION DOLLAR mining company care about what a small time website has to say indirectly? That seems kind of stupid and doesn't speak very well of our Aussie mining companies. A mining company has the time to ban a websites slogan due to slightly offensive content, shouldn't it be concentrating on safety issues and it's actual JOB? I mean, why not just ban Ubuntu by saying it's a parody of Windows? As an Australian I am kinda ashamed.
