Ella fan, why have you become a stooge for News Ltd? You must know that these proposed laws are mental, yet you're passionately advocating for them because you get all your talking points and opinions from News Ltd. Did you enjoy watching Outsiders on Sky News this morning? I assume you're a huge f...

They monetise the IP of news providers, and image providers, that they link, without recompense. They unconscionably use the delay in the lawmakers of most nations catching up with, and fairly regulating the use of such IP in online advertising markets, to profit at the expense of the news providers...

Its domain name was xxxx.com.tv

It is a standout example of the ridiculous nature of the internet market.

The answer to your question is that they should not engage in IP theft, and refrain from unconscionable behaviour that suppresses the commercial opposition.

Internet users will vote with their fingers.

If google is worth the effort, they will still go there, and google will still cash in on stolen IP as a result - even if it is geo-blocked for IPAs here.

Have you heard the story of Tuvalu's economic miracle?

Imagine, the government and media being able to control what people say on the internet. You don't have to imagine it - the CCP are doing it right now, and google kow-towed to them. Imagine being able to take revenue from one industry because you think they are earning too much. "Taking revenue fro...

Five minutes ago you were saying that the ABC was pro LNP. Or was that in another thread? By the way, please don't call me 'far right'. No need for personal insults.

If it's such an equitable tax scheme, why are there financial specialists on the side of grandfathering it? It's not a "tax scheme", whatever that phrase implies, it's an application of the standard principle that applies across the board to all expenditures* made for the purpose of generating inco...

I voted "other" before I realised you weren't allowed to vote for Predator.

Kindergarten Cop was probably his comedic zenith, although his more recent timing of delivery of the line "I worked construction ... until I got laid off" was one of his best deliveries ever.

In other news, some commenters (at least one) are saying that a recently fit-again Jason Behrendorff should go to RSA instead of Starc. He can provide the left arm option on what are likely to be dodgy pitches designed to nullify the Australian pace attack. Ned, on the other hand should be well suit...

Your acting deliberately thick can be a successful form of trolling, but it's not working in this case.

That's not an insult.

This is first grade, son ... you're out of depth here. Do you even lift, bro? :? More petty, condescending insults. I've spent time this morning trying to read up about these new laws. Again, not my area of expertise but I'm trying to learn about them. You are clearly drawing false equivalence betw...

Breaking up companies because they are too successful doesn't sit well with me. You are missing the point. Actually there are two points: 1. Intellectual property theft, because they are using other people's work to generate hits on their site and that translates to advertising $, which is the spec...

Yes, all the media are against ALP they haven't a chance. But still the question is who will lead them over the top. Plibbers walks past my house every morning, I can ask her if you if you like?

It s a fundamental principle of tax law that expenses occurred in earning an income are tax deductible. Why should investment properties be any different?

After the test series result in Australia, NZ must be confident of thrashing the Aust second XI 5-0. Anything else would be a failure.

Nah, they could hit a couple of overs for 15 - 20 each and it's all over.

It's hard to get a word in here amongst the Indian supporter's posts, but India should win this from here needing only 55 from 11 overs.

Well batted India.
