MOVIE BANNED? DOWNLOAD IT OFF THE INTERNET
Government entities underestimate the power of the Internet and Peer to Peer to overcome censorship.

From the Melbourne Herald Sun: The decision by Australia's film censorship board to ban all screenings of Larry Clark's sexually explicit "Ken Park" has resulted in encouraging Internet piracy of the film. So, while Australia is trying to prevent people from seeing imagery of the male anatomy, it's probably getting more "exposure" than if they had simply turned the other cheek and looked the other way.

It really is a simple lesson - one our children teach us every day ... say "no you can't (or shouldn't) have something" and that's all they will want. Ignore it, dismiss it, deflect it ... and it will quietly go away when people lose interest.
