In what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the world, the Australian music industry has listed an Internet service provider as a respondent in a court case involving alleged music piracy.
Three of Australia's largest Universities today lost the battle to block the music industry from gaining access to their computer infrastructure, with the Federal Court ordering them to allow the industry's experts to gain access.
Australia's music industry piracy investigations unit has accused the country's peak Internet body of a "head in the sand" response to a Federal Court ruling that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) was liable for the copyright-infringing behaviour of one of its customers.
The Internet service provider that hosted the controversial Web site mp3s4free.net has until tomorrow to remove privileged files from material seized by music industry investigators as part of ongoing legal action over alleged music copyright infringement.
