When there's a law being proposed, there's generally a loophole ready to exploit it.
Australian legislation regulating Internet content is no exception.
Bayley, who heads up the Australian chapter of hacker activist group 2600, is one of many hackers protesting the Broadcasting Services Amendment Online Bill, which passed the Australian Senate last week. The bill, expected to become law as early as this week, would require Australian ISPs to block or remove adult Web content, or face heavy fines. But groups like 2600 Australia want to guide service providers and users through technical openings in the law. The intent is to demonstrate that the legislation is fundamentally flawed and unenforceable. On Sunday, Bayley posted his paper detailing workarounds that ISPs can use to circumvent the proposed law.
