Dean, if you could somehow nullify the legal definition of Intellectual Property then content would be subject only to technical limitations - which would mean the internet would route it correctly from A to B as long as both points are on the internet. Short of that, I can't see anything changing - as long as physical borders affect intangible data, we'll always be second fiddle. Perhaps if InternetNZ were to host a pirate bay mirror then they could help get content to us more freely? The courts would probably frown on it compared to fyx, but it would accomplish the same goal On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 3:16 PM, Dean Pemberton wrote:

Nah - it would work with anything which did a DNS request. It would just depend on what sort of proxy system they have deployed.

The implication is that they somewhere have a list of services which they will Globalify (there's a new word for you) and allow the rest to carry on directly.

I wonder if they would be willing to post that list anywhere? =)
