How can they even exist without "rogue distributors"? I was under the impression that that was about 90% of their installs... I don't really know anyone that decides to install that on their own >_>

Sounds like they're going to release a browser with inbuilt spyware, like some preconfigured Firefox or something...

Why does this require legislation?
Forgive me if that sounded stupid, but I honestly don't understand why there needs to be LAWS in place for this sort of thing.
Ridiculous. Bittorrent.com's search was terrible and there's about a million other searches to get all your piratey goodness. Methinks the MPAA is barking up the wrong tree.
What about Iceland? I believe they have an extensive geothermal energy system that provides not only electricity, but also heat for those cold Reykjavik nights;). So how are the Australian firms making it "main-stream"?
Does it really matter? Most newspapers offer much (if not all) of their content online. All that matters is ad revenue, and they can even get around the cost of printing and distribution if they publish to the web. I see a transition, not a death.
he thought that putting post-release christian rock on p2p nets was 'leet'? he was probably kidding. frankly i can't decide if your article is a very long joke.

The internet is illegal? You know, having hypertext files available for download on millions of servers around the world...

That doesn't fit the rugged stereotypical trucker at all! "Goshdernit, we're gonna pollute all we need to get this convoy to San Antonio by Saturday!"
