| Message | Please note that "illegal filesharing" does not include sharing of music, films, &c, as the laws of Quanzar state that "Technology and art are part of the commons and are not protected by copyright", so people will be free as ever to download mp3 files as they wish. |

| Message | I'm on the fence on this. I think the internet should be as free as possible. |

| Message | That is my point - it will be free as possible. It cannot possibly be free to be a medium through which crime is conducted, just as we would not let any other medium be such a thing. The internet would still legally be a haven for filesharers and any other legitimate group. |

| Message | Sure, I guess it should be added that any search has to be justified by warrants and such |

| Message | Ut-oh. Look out, big brother is coming and his name is the Neosocialists. I assume they'd hack into our parties computer files Watergate style to justify some trumped up charges to get rid of us, similiar to the Nazis with the Reichstag fire in the 1930s. |
| Date | 18:32:42, September 21, 2005 CET | From | NeoSocialist Party | To | Debating the Internet Act |
| Message | May I remember the hapless Anti-sociaalist party that the judiciary power is completely independent from parties control? |
