Torrent Sites End Up on Aussie Blacklist

,----[ Quote ]
| There are claims today that the Australian government’s top-secret blacklist 
| of banned websites has been leaked onto the Internet. There are a number of 
| strange entries on the list that leaked to Wikileaks, including a couple of 
| torrent sites. However, Australian Minister Stephen Conroy claims the list is 
| not the country’s official blacklist.
