[AusNOG] Aussie ISP bakes in geo-dodging for Netflix, Hulu

[Paul Wilkins]

There was a ruling that Australia's prohibitions on importing salmon
breached WTO treaties. I would expect even less reason to restrict a market
in intellectual property, for one thing there's no consideration of
biohazards. Australia would be in breach of international obligations if it
decided to rescind commitments to free trade.
