The Great Aussie Firewall to Go Ahead
Ehtyar:
Australia, Britain, and China: three countries that are hard on netizens. Whenever a government wants to take away a liberty, they usually reach for the "child porn" card. Meanwhile, in the US and Britain, we're holding "piracy summits" to help corporations enact ACTA legislation. All this bodes ill for economic leadership to say the least.

Oh don't you worry, Australia is in on ACTA just as much as the rest of them. I wonder how long it will br before someone suggests the Great Firewall be used to assist Big Media.
BTW Ehtyar, where'd you dig up that picture of the Chairman?
I need one that's 1680x1050 :(

I believe that was one of it's functions in the initial proposal, (can't find a link right now), so it's already primed for BM use. I'm sure quite a few torrent search/tracker sites are already on the blacklist.

No probs, guess I'll have to improvise.

DHT is no match for stateful packet inspection. Better start looking for torrent sites that support encrypted/obfuscated connections/transfers.

I was under the impression that the scope of the Great Aussie Firewall included simply blocking specific domains/IPs. Am I mistaken? :O
