Australian Satellite
Here is a reasonable collection of useful stuff for the satellite
hobbyist. It is not as complete as I would like but hopefully I shall
gradually include more information as I locate the latest versions of
things. If there is anything you think should be here that isn't then drop
me an email. As usual, any suggestions are welcome.

INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS
Article 19
1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference.
2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right
shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of
all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print,
in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.
3. The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article
carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be
subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are
provided by law and are necessary:
(a) For respect of the rights or reputations of others;
(b) For the protection of national security or of public order , or of public health or morals.
NB - You can not hold a copyright on variable keys and as most but not all
satellite keys are not constant but variable they can not be the subject
of copyright.
As you can not hold any type of copyright on variable keys the publication
of such keys can not be construed as an illegal activity, the above groups
know this and use scare tactics aimed at the hosts of such sites in the
hope they will either close the sites in question or at least censor their
content.
