Here in Australia we have a government that considers toadying to the USA a matter of pride (we just can't wait to start bombing Iraq) and we have a communications minister who has trouble distinguishing a PC from a TV (for all the wrong reasons) so we'll be trying to get to the head of the line for PC fascism compliance (we already inhibit broadband use by putting in pace 'pay for data transfer fees' that mean you can use up your monthly 300 gig allocation in 30 minutes after which you pay punitive 'excess' fees) - so - I'm at a loss really I'll happily switch to macs if it means a year or two longer of using the internet the way I have/want to - but - here too - people will march in the streets to protect their right to have huge (pedestrian killing) 'bull-bars' mounted on their cars but when it comes to this they'll accept the line that 'this is good for you but bad for those evil internet pirates'

its all extremely irritating and I really don't see a viable/effective stance to adopt to oppose it
