  on Australian Gov't Chooses 'Consumer Advocate' For Secret Anti-Piracy Meetings: The Chairman Of The Copyright Council
  This was farcical but he has stood down as consumer advocate for the talks and will no longer attend.

  on DOJ Gives Its Opinion On SOPA By Unilaterally Shutting Down 'Foreign Rogue Site' Megaupload... Without SOPA/PIPA
  AS far as I know the internet blacklists haven't made it far at all and it has been pretty quiet on that front for a while from Senator Conroy's office.
  
  There are reports stuff is going on behind closed doors but I don't believe anything has been prepared for a vote yet in regards to passing those laws.
  
  I will agree with censorship Boards but that likes like changing soon as well and we may well be getting an R18 classification for games in the year future.
  
  Even with all that i still believe we are a lot better off in Australia han USA in regards to freedoms and losing civil liberties. Although with the closeness our two countries have politically it seems anything US Govt decides our politiians seem to follow blindly no matter what the consequences are.
