| 700187 | 2008-08-26 01:31:00 | from stuff "A point that needs making is that Judge Harvey is no mug when it comes to the internet. He has written a text book on cyber-law in New Zealand. "On a technical level he probably knows more about the internet than any other judge in the country," So then he should know that what he want's is impossable.. |

| 700188 | 2008-08-26 02:01:00 | So then he should know that what he want's is impossable.. I don't think his intention was to ever make it impossible for people to find out this information online; rather to just make it slightly more difficult. If you're determined, you can find out information about names which have been suppressed. My suspicion is that he was trying to add an extra level of "effort" people would have to go to, in order to find out information about the accused. |

| 700189 | 2008-08-26 05:00:00 | Just a thought - could it be the Judge knows something we don't? Admittedly he hasn't posted his thoughts here yet, but surely that is just an oversight. You show great insight R2x1. Mebe, those posting here are not as informed as the person making the decision. I look forward to his justification here on PC World chat. |

| 700191 | 2008-08-26 06:05:00 | Seeing as this isn't a news website, would it be illegal to publish Nathan and Daniel's names on here? | roddy_boy (4115) | ||

| 700193 | 2008-08-26 06:16:00 | Ah, FairfaxBM (NZ PC World) is a publisher with web based content. The judges ruling would cover them too and you would have to respect that by not posting identifiable details about those covered by the suppression order. Just to make that clear, please do not post information covered by the suppression order. Thanks. :) |

| 700194 | 2008-08-26 06:16:00 | If you wanna ban go ahead ? I'm not questioning if I'll get banned, as I wouldn't. Well according to the rules I wouldn't, but when has that ever stopped the mods before :rolleyes: I'm questioning the legality... I haven't read the suppression order myself, but from what I've seen on the news, it only prohibits news sites from publishing the information.

| 700195 | 2008-08-26 06:19:00 | If you wanna ban go aheadA ban would be the least of the persons worries. I imagine the judge involved will have no hesitation requesting information to fully identify that person. | Jen (38) | ||
| 700196 | 2008-08-26 06:25:00 | If someone wants to PM me the names I'll post em, I'll happy for the forum admins to ban me and hand over any personal info, and if asked I'll gladly give over my identity, which is no secret anyway. | Metla (12) | ||
