Music industry heavyweights and some of Australia's largest universities are back in court again tomorrow as the industry fights to secure evidence of alleged copyright infringement by users of the institutions' networks.
The music industry has expressed concern that alleged "delaying tactics" by the University of Melbourne over access to information revealing possible copyright breaches may make Federal Court action over the issue immaterial.
A music industry piracy body has asked ombudsmen in three states to investigate the conduct of universities involved in court action over alleged use of the institution's networks to breach copyright.
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.
Lawyers representing Sharman Networks today informed the Federal Court of Australia they intended to challenge the validity of the court order which resulted in raids on several premises last week.
