Since then, the government has banned Nitschke's Peaceful Pill handbook, and legislation is currently passing through the parliament that would make it illegal to distribute information about assisted suicide via e-mail and the Internet. Britain's House of Lords is also reviewing legislation that would make it illegal to promote suicide via the Internet...

Left with little choice, they master the murky world of link compilers such as sidereel.com and surfthechannel.com, conduits for illegal videos hosted by such sites as megavideo.com and others. Even in America, distribution of cable shows is so inefficient that domestic viewers resort to piracy.
