[LINK] The Enemies of the Internet

[Howard Lowndes]

If this report is only for sale, then it would be reasonable to assume
that that is in order to protect the copyright to the document, in which
case I would suggest that you have just breached the copyright laws in
Australia that came into effect last Monday.

Is your inclusion a reasonable extract for the purpose of review?
