What do you do about porn sites outside of Australia? Most of them are, you know.

What do you do about P2P porn?

Stamping out porn will be FAR more difficult than winning the drug war, because porn isn't a physical thing and doesn't need to be smuggled. And I think it's clear that the drug war is a huge disaster. The United States hosts 25 percent of the world's prison population, with only seven percent of the total world population, due in very large part to the horrific drug war.

We have entered an era in which censorship is simply not a realistic option. People will have to accept this sooner or later, just as the record companies are beginning to realize -- although not before they have wounded themselves, perhaps mortally, in trying to hold back the river.
