No, I'm sorry, but Australians wouldn't want to enforce their idiocies. We don't have groups trying to violently ban abortion, for example. Trialling minors as adults, practising the death penalty, criminalising prostitution - are you really saying that's "equal"?? Those are horrific abuses of civil liberties. As is disconnecting people's internet because the MPAA says so.
Now we have PayPal banning VPNs, and freezing their money.

Nice. "As a result your account has been permanently limited and this cannot be appealed". Where is the goddamn regulation that would prevent this kind of abuse? Paypal is now an essential payment facility - that is that if you ban a VPN service's PP account, not only can they not receive PP payments from customer, but they also can't pay their bills (e.g. for servers) through PP and many data-centres and other online companies only accept Paypal. Do you reckon they'll freeze Softlayer's account as well for providing VPNs? That'd be interesting. They already removed Mega's account.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
