P.S. If you don't get the irony there, you must be in league with parliament and can suck my cock too. :-)

I get your irony there. I'll find it funny when you get hunted down over that post.

I am appalled at your childishness and attitude, Draugnar.

Hey, I'm not a UK citizen nor do I live in the UK. Let 'em bring it! I doubt the US government will extradite me for calling Parliament a bunch of sodomists and pedophiles.

This website is not subject to British law. Australia may share a head of state with the UK but not a parliment. Nevermind the fact that Kestas could easily move webdips hosting to Sweden (home of the free? at least thepiratebay is still available...)

Now the UK could potentially block British citizens from viewing such inflammatory website. They can claim it applies to any website, but what case law is there at the moment in the UK? What does it take for a British court to claim jurisdiction over an Australian or Swedish website?

I'd like to hear Kestas' opinion, and legal advice. (any free legal advice out there?)

Draug, what about the next time you want to visit the UK? would you like to be picked up at customs for trolling? If Kestas choose to comply with UK laws he could reveal your identity to the Authorities there... (or at least your IP address)

This sounds like it is being pushed by ISPs and webhosts who want to earn some measure of protection from legal action, tbh.

Um, been there once. Don't want to go back. I'll stick with tropical climates not rainy and cold for my vacations thank you.

Oh, and I should point out that they have no way to compell Kestas or the IP/equipment providers release the info as, once again, it is out of their juris-my-dick-tion!

Yes, and at the moment, there us no international treaty in force... But acta may come into force shortly...

And we have this law that says we can't be tried for a crime if it wasn't a crime when we commited it. So I can call those fuckers every name in the book and *still8 nothing will happen to me as the US has no law and I woudl have to do it *after* they passed one for it to be a crime. I love the US legal system!

This dowsn't sound good, but is not as disturbing as the United States developing robot programs to troll propaganda.

And I'm not kidding about that.

At least until the Republicans take over here and decide it's a good way to get rid of their opposition too. It hasn't been that many years since the Patriot Act was used to get library records to see what people were checking out certain books.

So if someone defames me in a UK pub I can get his address from the bar manager? Cool. "We know where you live! Harharhar."

Hey, don't lay it all on the Republicans. Obama signed the NDAA into law back in January and it seriously expanded the Patriot Act and the military's role going so far as allowing the military to detain US citizens arrested on US soil.

There's enough blame in the curtailing of our freedoms to go aroudn fro both sides of the aisle.

Draugnar: Yes, but when it comes to civil liberties and jingoism, the reality is that the Democrats are much more prone to maintain the status quo than worsen the situation/start a disaster like the Republicans
