Which is not really the issue. Buy banning that sight they are banning people from getting Linux software. So they are lumping Linux Software in with the things that they classify as illegal. If they want to filter the illegal stuff out fair enough. But Banning GPL Software is wrong. Granted it might not be to much of an issue. But the foot in the door principle makes it worth taking a look at.
But any way what I am wondering is it the telstra sight that is blocking things. Or is it an overseas sight. and also If it is a NZ sight that is blocking. Are they allowed to do that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvyWRcACgkQ9ez56oQweu6a8ACfQzjyW+87eWXrvxN0TbbfVCGb kJQAnjTeyo7vavredqGyEl0gNaYnqoWl =Qv7x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
