Feb. 2nd, 2010 05:01 amHAHAHA AUSTRALIA WHAT ARE YOU DOING. WHY ARE YOU SO AGAINST THE INTERNET?
"The new law, which came into force on January 6, requires internet bloggers, and anyone making a comment on next month's state election, to publish their real name and postcode when commenting on the poll."
"It also appears to apply to election comment made on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter."
"The law, which was pushed through last year as part of a raft of amendments to the Electoral Act and supported by the Liberal Party, also requires media organisations to keep a person's real name and full address on file for six months, and they face fines of $5000 if they do not hand over this information to the Electoral Commissioner."

Welcome to Red Australia/Nazi Australia.
I guess I should be fair and post something else too. How about that Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement? It's still in the works but there have been some leaked bits. This agreement will cover the following countries; the USA, Switzerland Japan, Australia, Canada, the European Union, Jordan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Singapore and United Arab Emirates.
"The leaked document includes a provision to force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide information about suspected copyright infringers without a warrant, something which many feel should not be legal, making it easier for the record industry to sue music file sharers and for officials to shut down non-commercial BitTorrent websites such as The Pirate Bay."

For your information, in the United States of America, unless the police have a warrant, they cannot get your information from your ISP. This is why most anti-piracy cases flounder because it's fucking impossible to get enough proof of piracy to get a warrant.
