Yes it is terrific to see a bunch of Aussies making something happen on the fringe ..freedom of speech ..freedom of access to educational materials ..but I'm spooked easily because i live in the bit that has the 3rd largest police force in the world & they are always trying to justify their existence to their political masters ..
Its important that we at all times remain within the legal constraints of what is possible, Im sure non of us are or have any intention to violate any laws of copywrite etc ...(sorry for the rant)
..I would also like to bring to your attention to the opensource truecrypt product
http://www.truecrypt.org/ just ensure that anything you DL is strictly for your personnel use & not for any other reason :-)
