Interview with Background Briefing on Australian Broadcasting Corporation

By Tim Armstrong, Derek Bambauer, and William McGeveran.

Wendy Carlisle, of the ABC, has an excellent Background Briefing piece on Australia’s Internet filtering controversy. (I’m biased, because I’m interviewed in the piece.) Background Briefing is influential in Australia - probably similar to Frontline or the Jim Lehrer Newshour here in the U.S. - and so this piece could help drive the debate. You can listen to the report on-line or download it. For my take on how filtering alters the role of ISPs, see my write-up here, and for my thoughts on the Australian situation, see my SSRN piece here.
