"Australia doesn’t have a piracy problem. Australia has a distribution problem. More specifically: Australia has a Foxtel problem."

Well, yes and no. It's deeply ironic that by far the best distribution system for large media files is highly accessible yet effectively outlawed. It's like banning TV so people will keep gathering round the wireless set. I can't believe we've wasted a whole generation arguing about this. Some technology is just too dangerous to develop. Neutron bombs for example. Torrenting really isn't in the same category.
