The anti-piracy case between the Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI) and Internet service provider Swiftel has been settled out of court.
The music industry's anti-piracy unit claims 50 file-sharing hubs in Australia closed down this week following its raid on Internet service provider Swiftel Communications for alleged copyright infringement issues.
Any appeal by key players associated with the Kazaa file-sharing software will only be heard in February or March next year.
Former music piracy investigator Michael Speck, who spearheaded the record companies' long-running campaign to shutdown Kazaa, has joined the peer-to-peer network's business partner, Altnet.
Qantas fraud investigator Michael Kerin is expected to be confirmed as the music industry's new piracy enforcer within the next two weeks, record company sources claim.
In order to get the real picture behind the US-Australia free trade agreement, one needs to examine the document with a fine-tooth comb. Of particular interest is how Australia will have to model its laws after the US Millennium Copyright Act.
