The Australian music industry's newly-appointed chief piracy investigator has warned ISPs that the current Swiftel case will herald a new regime of responsibility for copyright breaches.
The general manager of the music industry's piracy investigations (MIPI) unit, Michael Speck, has accused Internet service providers of trying to evade copyright liability in an address to the Senate Select Committee on the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the US (AUSFTA) last week.
The music industry has moved to include two directors and an employee of ISP Com-Cen as respondents in its Federal Court case against the MP3 trading Web site, mp3s4free.net.
The Internet Industry Association has denied that negotiations between itself and various copyright holders groups over mechanisms for taking down infringing content have fallen through.
The Internet company targeted by the music industry over alleged copyright breaches, ComCen, has denied it hosted any copyright-infringing MP3 files on its servers and claims the Web site cited in the civil action brought against it acted only as a search engine.
