MP3s Evade Censorship in Belgrade

An Anonymous Coward shared this Freedom Forum story with us, in which a chief correpondent for CBS news reveals how they got audio out of Yugoslavia despite wartime censorship. Simple: they emailed MP3s. The net helped them keep up-to-date too.

Hmmm.....

More proof that censorship _never_ works. People will always find a way around it if they want to. There are always loopholes in laws (kinda like programs (hmm....`loop'holes.....)).

Anyway, supposing the telephones in Europe (on avreage) can only handle 14.4kbps, and this is _not_ the richest country in europe. I would say they probably got connection speeds under 10kbps. Try uploading even a 10 minute Mp3 at 9600. I believe that would take a lot longer then 40 mins. (unless they encoded it at like 32kbps)

That's my $(2^4*3+1/7%3*2/100)
