  on It May Take Up To 10,000 Years Before We Finally Get Rid Of 'Up To' Language In Broadband Marketing
  In AUstralia, we already have fairly tough restrictions - even in what we call the plans - see http://www.accc.gov.au/content/item.phtml?itemId=779405&nodeId=defae98eed0b8c63cbfc6c34155de8f4& amp;fn=Broadband%20internet%20speed%20claims%20and%20the%20Trade%20Practices%20Act%E2%80%94Informati on%20paper.pdf (Fixed broadband) and http://www.accc.gov.au/content/item.phtml?itemId=895060&nodeId=736bd0acbada055248eb84fd57d9edc4& amp;fn=September%202009%20-%20Mobile%20and%20other%20wireless%20speed%20claims%20and%20the%20TPA.pdf (Mobile Broadband).
  
  Even words such as Unlimited are regulated (see http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/972768)

  Even in Australia, a very interesting and entertaining view of copyright issues. Well done on being nominated.

  Funding terrorism??

  on Australian Press Prints Movie Industry Myths About Piracy Funding Terrorism
  By this argument, it's better for the country if I download the movies myself rather than buying from some dodgy shop in Chinatown. That way I'm not funding terrorism (unless my ISP kicks into their fund somehow), and I still get the movies I want.
  
  Maybe AFACT should drop their action against iiNet since people downloading their own content is in the country's interest :)
