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.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
