по мотивам принятого когда-то решения, судебные преследования набирают обороты:
An Ipswich man has admitted downloading graphic cartoon porn images featuring child characters from The Simpsons and The Powerpuff Girls TV shows.
The 28-year-old is now a registered sex offender and will have to report to police after pleading guilty in Ipswich District Court to having the bizarre images on his computer.

давно уже махнул рукой на различнейшие австралийские запреты — перечислять их не хватит ни времени, ни сил, — oднако последние новости все же очаровывают: они запретили маленькую женскую грудь:
The proposed Australian Government clampdown on smut just got a whole lot broader, as news emerged of a ban on small breasts and female ejaculation in adult material.
<...>
Breasts came under the spotlight a year ago, as Senators Barnaby Joyce and Guy Barnett commenced a campaign against publicly available porn. Rounding up magazines from corner shops and filling stations, Senator Joyce claimed that publications featuring small-breasted women were encouraging paedophilia.
The result of this campaign is now visible in the decisions being made by the Australian Classification Board, which is beginning to apply RC (refused classification) categories to such material, as opposed to the previous X-rating. According to Fiona Patten, Convenor of the Australian Sex Party: “We are starting to see depictions of women in their late 20s being banned because they have an A cup size.
ну, то есть, понятное дело — каторжанам и надзирателям по вполне очевидным причинам (культурный багаж, среда обитания, blah-blah) должны больше нравиться сиськи поувесистее, но не в законодательном же порядке?
сейчас они, конечно, от всего открещиваются, но как-то совершенно неубедительно, впрочем:
A spokesperson for the ACB told me today that publications which contain offensive depictions or descriptions of persons who are or appear to be persons under the age of 18 (whether they are engaged in sexual activity or not) must be classified RC. They said the Board classifies publications on a case by case basis, in accordance with the Guidelines for the Classification of Publications, the Code and the Classification Act and that the Publications Guidelines do not specify breast size.
ухахатываюсь.
что такое свобода?

замечательный человек Стивен Гоф, оказывается:
<...> a former Royal Marine turned activist from Eastleigh, Hampshire, famous for walking the length of Great Britain from Land’s End to John o’ Groats in 2003–2004 with nothing on except boots, socks, rucksack and sometimes a hat. He has been arrested several times and put in prison in the course of his ramble.
ну, и так далее:
On 18 December 2008 he was convicted of a breach of the peace and jailed for 12 months. In July 2009, Gough, standing in the dock naked, was jailed at Perth for a further 12 months for breach of the peace. Sheriff MacFarlane was told that the bill for dealing with Gough had cost the public an estimated several hundred thousand pounds. The court heard how Gough had finished a previous jail term at Perth Prison and was released to enjoy freedom for the first time in several months. However, his freedom lasted less than 30 seconds after he walked naked from the prison door to Edinburgh Road. Gough was also sentenced to four months for refusing to dress before the trial.
молодец, я думаю — этому европейскому сброду определенно нужно зеркало, в котором они бы постоянно видели собственное убожество и зашоренность:
Gough said: ‘Essentially this is about individual freedom and people’s tolerance to other people being different. I understand a lot of people will disagree and have strong feelings about it.
Walking the amount of miles I have, through towns and cities, it is on the whole a very small moral minority who act in an irrational way. I believe I am behaving in a reasonable way.’

феерическая комедия абсурда (клоун-дрессировщик Куклачев оскорблен высказываниями Миши 
tiphareth Вербицкого) набирает обороты.
смешно, впрочем, оно только со стороны, а на деле сталкиваться с подобным маразмом никому не хочется. равно, как и собственным лбом проверять твердокаменность этой Фемиды.
показательно, кстати, что такие “движения за чистоту интернета” плодятся, словно [умученные дрессировщиком] кошки весной — вот уж, право, неискоренимое желание быть рабом (хотя они-то и думают, полагаю, что “надсмотрщиком”); омерзительны, в общем, до судорог.
поголовно виноватые

а в Англии, наоборот, отключения не за горами:
Secretary of State Lord Mandelson is trying to sneak a revision into the Digital Economy Bill that would give him and his successors the power to create future copyright law without debate. Mandelson goes on to explain that he wants this so he can create private copyright militias with investigatory and enforcement powers, and so he can create new copyright punishments as he sees fit (e.g., jail time, three strikes).
проторенной дорогой, натурально.

кстати, уже не только Финляндия, но и Испания тоже:
Spanish citizens will have a legal right from 2011 to be able to buy broadband internet of at least one megabyte per second at a regulated price wherever they live, the country’s industry minister said on Tuesday.
The telecoms operator holding the so-called “universal service” contract would have to guarantee it could offer “reasonably” priced broadband throughout Spain, said Miguel Sebastian in a statement sent to media.

среди общего маразма, кстати, случаются и проблески здравого смысла:
Earlier this year, the IFPI gave Norwegian ISP Telenor an ultimatum – block access to The Pirate Bay within days or get taken to court. Telenor refused, IFPI followed through with its threat and the case was heard earlier this month. The decision was announced today. IFPI lost the case and Telenor will not have to block The Pirate Bay.

на случай, если вы до сих пор не знаете, куда эмигрировать:
Starting next July, every person in Finland will have the right to a one-megabit broadband connection, according to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Finland is the world’s first country to create laws guaranteeing broadband access. The Finnish people are also legally guaranteed a 100Mb broadband connection by the end of 2015.
такая близкая страна. и такая далекая.
лишь бы найти повод

лоббировать проще всего на фоне похищенных детишек:
<...> the Canadian government has introduced Internet surveillance legislation that requires ISPs to disclose customer information without a warrant. Peter Van Loan, the Minister in charge, claims that a Vancouver kidnapping earlier this year shows the need for these powers. Michael Geist did some digging and revealed this as a lie — the Vancouver police acknowledge that the case did not involve an ISP request and the suspect is now in custody.
а что, отличная причина. педофилия была бы лучше, натурально (Free Polanski, кстати!), но суть не меняется: все это не более, чем очередной повод. иногда один используют, иногда другой. а цель-то проста на самом деле: установить повсеместно камеры наблюдения и следить за тем, как мы готовим переворот на кухне. ну, или хотя бы просто подглядывать.

свободу Юрию Деточкину, кстати. Роману Поланскому, то есть!
цитируемая фамилия “Деточкин” приобретает в этой истории особенный вкус.
