    So there is a two year delay on the sanctions, and it is being rushed through while others are still focused on the quake. Seems like they are scared of another demonstration.

    i can actually see new proxy servers popping up all over nz/au - really it is just bureaucracy, as soon as it is in place there will be ways and ways to go around it as always.

    They didn't put their work in the public domain to be stolen. You're nothing more than a common thief.
