This is just ludicrous:

The [Australian group] insists that the site should follow Australian law because, although the site is hosted in the US, with free speech protection, articles which can be read and downloaded in Australia are considered to have been published in Australia.

It doesn’t take a genius to follow this thinking to its logical conclusion. If these people got their way, then every country would demand a say over every Internet site. Do you really want your site to be subject to Chinese and Iranian laws on what you’re legally allowed to post?

‘Nuf said.
