In a landmark decision - and a stunning victory for common sense everywhere - iiNet has won their court case! Basically, a bunch of the big Hollywood studios sued this Australian ISP for allowing people to download copyrighted movies on BitTorrent. iiNet argued that they're a service provider like the electricity company, and they have no duty to police the actions of their users. The case is a precedent-setter and has been followed extensively on tech blogs and news sites for the past few months. AND IINET WON! Excellent news.

and in a stunning defeat for common sense Men at Work lost their court case the very same day.

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
