Interesting, though it does raise the question of why it is so often referred to as such and how punitive measures (such as the proposed three strikes policy) could work if the activity isn't against the law. Would be good to see another source on this.

Another question is why no Australian government has thought to criminalise it. It might be rarely enforceable, but if nothing else having a statute there would probably help their cause I would have thought.
