    Australia will go the same way, they follow US and UK precendent.
    Me mate who is a serious legal expert (especially in media, idea and copyright law, and fighting for the rights of the individual over the corporation) left the uk for OZ years ago as he was sick of western legal trends.
    He is now leaving Oz as he says that the same shit is trickling down there now.

    Antarctica is the only safe bet.

    The former singer of punk band The Undertones was specifically addressing MPs about the impact of the 2003 Licensing Act.

    He voiced concerns to Billboard.biz about police statements during the passage of the legislation linking music events with crime, and said there has been "inconsistency" with how the Act has been applied across the U.K. Sharkey cited the example of Moonfest, where in August Wiltshire Police used section 160 of the Act to prevent alt-rock act Babyshambles, featuring Pete Doherty, performing at the event.

    Superintendent Paul Williams of Wiltshire Police said at the time the band's tendency to "speed up and then slow down the music" could create a "whirlpool effect" and spark disorder. It is believed to be the first time the 2003 Act has been used in such a way.








    Everybody sing along now

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    It hurts to set you free
    But youll never follow me
    The end of laughter and soft lies
    The end of nights we tried to die
    Signed the petition, but what does democracy have anything to do with it.

    The poll tax was vehemently fought against.
    It went through.
    CJA opposed
    Went through

    We get the government we deserve.
    We voted, democracy is setting us free.

    They're way ahead of us in terms of internet censorship.
