    no, not good luck with that.

    even if the UK gov't can't get through R&D, that's a lot of wasted money.

    even if the censor is easy to get around or tunnel through, that will leave a large uninformed populaces ripe for taking advantage of.

  17. Re:See guys! on France's Citizens Expected to Help Build Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    presidents and congressmen don't run the country, they're just the puppets. the men behind the curtain pulling the strings are the international bankers and their central banks. watch Zeitgeist and a few others, find out what their on about before you just dismiss them as just another conspiracy theory. when does a conspiracy theory become a conspiracy?

  18. Re:This one's obvious on Last "Hackers On Planet Earth" Conference In July · · Score: 1

    i agree, if you like something... give the popper respects. for example, i heard about this DJ called "nick skitz" so i downloaded his stuff, LOVED it then went out and bought all his CDs (~30.) but then that brigs us to the the HUGE percentage that the labels get.

    but it's when copy right is abused to hinder development (patents) or used for censorship (church of scientology) that i (and others) say "fuck this, lets do what needs to be done"
