When the Government proposed their ‘Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2014‘ we were all outraged & vowed to vote it down …
Of course those in power paid no notice & collection & storage of your metadata began.
Then the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Bill 2015 was proposed & passed allowing for the ‘blocking of sites that have the primary purpose of infringing copyright or facilitating the infringement of copyright’ i.e. Bye bye Pirate Bay & all of the better known BitTorrent sites – of course this has made little difference to the ‘Nation of Pirates’ and down-loading of free-to-air content that is delayed & trickle-fed down-under has continued unabated.
Now Netflix, the bastion of those who are prepared to pay for content otherwise denied to us, have begun ‘geo-blocking’ – restricting those smart enough to have bought access to the US Netflix service so that they can sample the full array of Digital Offerings, to the mere third that has been served up to the Second-Rate citizens of Australia.
