This is typical of our government's inept and stupid attempts to regulate the Internet - under the guise of regulating Electronic Commerce...
These people wouldn't know a CryptoCode if it bit them on the ass!
They know absolutely nothing about how it works, but somebody somewhere heard "THE INTERNET" and now they want to control it - see the ongoing fiasco with the co.za domain....
Instead of wiring the country, educating people, creating jobs etc. they waste endless amounts of money making useless (and unenforceable) laws.
It makes me ashamed to be a South African:-)
