Does this only apply to companies selling things?
I certainly don't want my WoW guild website to get taken down because we sometimes use swear words and post some porn (which usually gets taken off anyway cause then the site gets blocked at peoples work). We definitely wont be putting any age verification system on our site.
I really do feel sorry for you mate, having completed my yr12 2 years ago now it can be a tough time and having this added to it could make it nearly impossible. On the last day of school one of my friends shaved his head, which was against school policy, for this he was banned from the school during exams and had to travel 45 minutes to another school to do all hes exams. The punishment didn't come anywhere close to fitting the crime (usually uniform infringements were at MOST a detention).
There are a lot of people calling for Freedom of Speech laws at the moment so including them on your mailing list could be a big help, and I'm sorry I don't have any names to provide.
The thread/s in question cited by the lawsuit are actually something like #2 and #3 for a google search of 2clix - under their official site. The only reason they are #2 and #3 is because they filed this lawsuit and bought the threads to everyones attention.
I love the whirlpool site, every time I have had a problem with my ISP (only when I was on Telstra) I would head over there and find solution to my problems (putting Telstras modem into bridge mode) and updates for anytime service outages (Telstras website never got this info). It also helped me select my new ISP Internode who I am very happy with and have had no problems to date (1 year, 2 years on Telstra).
Lately there have been many calls i the media for a "bill of rights" style law to be enacted (mainly because journalists can be imprisioned for not revealing thier sources) and hopefully this story will find its way into the media so bring this one step closer to reality (but im sure we all know this will NEVER happen).
