Well to add to the influx of links I feel forced in justifying the pain involved in teaching my Father to create and maintain a website.
It looks a little amateurish, but I recommend those interested in the field to take a look, with comments and information from Australia's lead Researchers/Observers of NEO's and Lunar Occultations.

I hate polititions or nations who introduce retro-active laws. My humble point is the retro-active punishment of criminals under law they are currently writing is against International Human Rights of which the USA is a member state to.
The actual article goes as follows:[Article 11 section 2]
"
No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed. "
Nothing a veto can't stop them getting in trouble for, here's hoping they don't use economic and defence agreements to pressure my poor Australia into putting more restrictive laws in place.
I am far from an expert, but I feel it is going to be a hearts and minds exercise like that of the British campaign in Malaya, or the early phase of the Vietnam war before Johnson attempted to convert it into a Stand up fight.
I can think of a few simple steps:
Determine why the terrorist group is performing these acts of terror, and who supports them
In other words determine whom are your enemies and who could become your friends.
Address the issues of the supporters of the terrorists, so that the terrorists lose their broader support.
Don't alienate the communites from which these terrorists come from and tar them with the same brush. In doing this you only create further cycles of violence.
Lawfully persue and openly prosecute perpetrators of terrorism.
Law must be seen to be done, no mob justice, no trial by media. You may as well acknowledge defeat if you allow that to happen.
If you're going to claim the moral high ground, make sure that each of the actions you take is moral and legal.
No illeagal bombings of Afganistan, Sunda, Iraq without the agreement of the UN. No supporting of Nations that are carrying out such illeagal actions as that is as bad as doing it yourself.
I've walked through Anzac Cove, Lone Pine, US Civil War sites, Pearl Harbour, Normandy, Flanders Fields, Dresden, Ypres, Dachau and many more war sites. I've seen the names of my countrymen younger than I fall simply because we as a species have not grown up. It saddens me that we have to fight again and again just to learn that same lesson.
Lest we Forget
My state government has the following pay conditions for IT workers on Call.
~$140 AUD per week On-call payment
All on call work on Saturdays and week nights is at 1.5 hourly rate.
All on call work on sundays and public holidays is at double the hourly rate.
Phone support is rounded up to the nearest 15 minute inteval
On-Site call out is paid at a 2 hour minimum with possible meal benifits, travel time is included as work time on a call out.
On-Call officers have either the use of a government vehicle or Cab vouchers for transportation
On-Call officers have to be available in a condition to work while they are slated to be on call. IE. Not drunk and in the city so they can commute in a reasonable time.
One rule that doesn't get used to much is: an officer does not have to return to active duty until 10 hours after he finishes overtime (call out) and is not penalised for the lost time.
Hope this gives some help or pointers, though you must remember one thing about government work the pay is not the greatest but the rights and freedoms are greater than in the private sector.
Spam is doubly annoying outside of the United States due to most of the advertsing contained within it being mainly targetted for an American audience and it taking up valuable time and bandwidth.
Beyond the annoyance value it is theft of personal time and computer resources which if the spammer provides no means of workable list removal shamelessly criminal. I can recall a case in the UK were a man sued an advertsing firm who used unsolicited faxes as their media for theft of fax thermal fax paper, and won.

At least you could burn the unsolicited mail.
Short reply to some of your points, the list was a short list off the top of my head of Artists and bands from the last 30 years including some current and old bands. Killing Heidi, Jebodah, EMI are newer wereas some bands had there prime years in the eighties and nineties, Like Midnight Oil from 1976 unill the mid nineties..(though they have put out CD's recently and produced a track for Liber East Timor CD that is getting some airplay).
Joan Sutherland is opera, but we are talking music not just rock. As the Wiggles who are among some of the biggest money makers in the music industry but only perform childrends songs for the 5-7 year old market. They sell CD's after all.
The Beegees were british immigrants to Australia who were "discovered" in Australia and started their music career here.
A change in American law feeds through to a change in WTO rules, which are enforceable in all WTO member countries. The USA is, to use the jargon, the "Most Favoured Nation", in the sense that its legal arrangements are to be favoured above domestic law, in commercail matters relating to trade. Online distribution is intrinsically international, so US law prevails here.
I personally find the US domination of WTO concerning when from all the evidence I have seen it appears to be mainly used as a tool to aid American trade and not World Trade. It reminds me very much of the naming a series of games played by countries on the American continent The World Series.
(WTF? Anyone able to name three Austrialian stars?)
Midnight Oil, Silver Chair, UMI, Killing Heidi, Nick Cave, AC/DC, Baby Animals, Cold Chisel, INXS, The Wiggles, Savage Garden, The Seekers, Kate Cebrano, John Farnum, The Beegees, Hunters and Collectors, Kylie Minogue, Danii Minogue, Jimmy Barnes, Peter Allen, Joan Sutherland, The Animals, Dragon, Ice House, Men at Work, Jebodah...
try naming 3 from New York, Australia has a little less People than that city and surrounding buros.
