Don't try your bullying tactics on illegal downloaders in Oz.



We're not so easily intimidated.

That said, I deplore illegal downloaders.

Since when is seeking compensation for copyright infringement considered bullying? The legal issues aside, this not a situation pitting the America against Australia. It is an situation where a US based company is seeking legal retribution from a bunch of ocker thieves. Let's call it what it is, shall we.



Back in April the Aussie courts were more than willing to provide DBC with the requested ISPs. I wonder how much Kangaroo dung was spread around for the Aussie federal court to overturn the lower courts original decision. No doubt this is not over yet.

Calm yourself, Sarge...its a bit tongue in cheek. :wink:



I DID make the point that I deplore illegal downloading.



The point, however, is that the American company behind this move seemed blissfully unaware of Australian law.
