Not to conflate these two issues which are somewhat more than tangentially related ... but, Kim Dot Com and his co-defendants are currently appealing extradition to the US - broadcast from the NZ High Court.
The same happens with Queensland Rai's free WiFi with no evidence at all that they care the slightest. Of course, they also impose a 10Mb download limit...
The same effect we see the surveillance having on the ISIS ability to communicate and coordinate effectively, timely and at lower cost/friction is the same cost that will be borne by a civilian population not desiring the exertion of government authority and power into their daily lives.
I disagree. iiNet do not fail here. They should be lauded for standing up for not just their users but all Internet users in Australia. They are one of the only ISPs to stand up to the government and the entertainment industry, and as far as I know, the only ISP in this country to do both.

As I read it the public danger exception applies only to the land or naval forces or in the militia, not more broadly. I don't read it to mean OR danger to the public, just like I don't read it to mean OR a(ny) danger in public.
No, if you were the RIAA you would induce others to make your cake for you with promises of huge windfalls and then make them pay for that privilege whilst you eat the cake that they made and then charge any passers-by for catching a whiff of the cake.
Reimerdes also showed us that DRM is the right to suppress speech: the right to stop people from uttering code or keys or other expressions if there is some chance that these utterances will interfere with your made-up copyright laws.
The key part being the codification of the law. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)
I'll wait until I see the prices they charge for works that are 50 years old at the time of release before I would argue that it was a good result and that the public are better off for the release.
Then he returns to the 9/11 attacks and says, as he always does, that the attack might have been stopped by a metadata collection program like the USA has now.
The problem here is that for the > 95% of the world's population that does not live in the US, NSA has become synonymous with USA, or USA with NSA - I get a bit confused as to which is which any more.

Meanwhile, over in NZ ....

If it ain't broke...
Things like this never used to happen before they started restricting civil asset forfeiture.

How very Un-Australian of them.

So ... anyone travelling to that antipodean hot bed of terrorism called Australia will be on the list too.

Maybe they should be asking Kim Dotcom for some advice, or surplus capacity.
And ...

Yeah ... ok
Kind of hard to be a committed terrorist when I'm sitting on my arse watching Game of Thrones.

Perhaps we should develop our own DRM implementation and use the DMCA as the key.
