iiNet did not comply with requests to cancel the accounts of alleged copyright infringers, but it did not need to, iiNet's legal counsel argued today as the ISP started to close off its legal battle in the Federal Court.
Internet Industry Association (IIA) chief Peter Coroneos faced heated questions in Federal Court yesterday over a "knockout blow" the IIA had planned for an increasingly prolific copyright movement.
In federal court today the film studios backed down from an aspect of their piracy court case against iiNet, leading the judge to award iiNet compensation.
Internet advocacy group the Electronic Frontiers Association has welcomed the move to restrict legal network interception to government and law enforcement agencies.
Western Australian internet service provider iiNet took an extra 47,500 broadband customers over the past year, and also added over 67,000 naked DSL subscribers.
Will new business models cut down the amount of people breaking the law, reduce the market for pirates and remove the need for litigation?
Facebook's answer as to why it removed vigilante groups that had posted details about accused fire-bug Brendan Sokaluk smells of fear that it may be as responsible as media for content published on its network.
The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft's (AFACT) hunt for Australia's third largest internet service provider iiNet is set to resume on Monday, with all eyes on its managing director Michael Malone as he takes the stand.
Cover the windows, stay indoors and bunker down the war on file sharing has reached Australian shores. Copyright owners have a fair claim to their content, but is it fair to saddle ISPs with the responsibility of policing their users? And should copyright enforcers be able to steal our privacy?
Twitter coverage of the AFACT vs. iiNet trial is breathing new life into court reporting. Why don't we as a society take the next step and stream it all live to the internet, video and audio?
Federal Government plans to introduce ISP-level filtering to provide a 'safer' internet experience for Australian families are likely to be met with significant resistance from within the ISP community.
There is no suggestion even by government that this filter would aid law enforcement, and nobody, including the ISPs themselves, has suggested there is any possibility that the pilot will tell a different story.
