Net Freedom Under Attack In Australia

This seems a serious matter of concern to all, do we stand by and see precious internet freedoms stolen to protect big businesses profits ?

An Australian court has upheld a ruling against a website operator that provided a search engine through which users could illegally access MP3 files.
The Federal Court in Canberra backed a previous copyright ruling involving Australian web firm mp3s4free.net.

By providing links to websites which enabled illegal downloads, mp3s4free had effectively authorized copyright infringement, the court said.
The ruling could have implications for search engine websites such as Google.

The action against Mr Cooper in Australia was brought by a firm representing major music labels including Universal Music, EMI, BMG and Warner Music.


This is how it starts folks, legal entities are prevailed upon to censor sites that are not of the political flavour of the politicians and those that pay them "donations" aka kickbacks, democracy is then ceeded to immoral and illegal monopolies for short term personal gain.

This action is the internet equivalent of book burning, its out of date thinking and was last practiced by the nazi's. :evil:
