The solicitor who represented a student sentenced for online music piracy offences has defended the magistrate's decision while lashing out at media coverage and the music industry's pursuit of custodial sentences.
Three students convicted of copyright infringing acts associated with the Web site MP3 WMA Land have escaped jail time, the magistrate instead handing down suspended sentences and community service orders.
The sentencing of three students associated with the copyright-infringing Web site MP3 WMA Land has been stood down till 2pm due to intense media scrutiny.
The sentencing of three students charged with multi-million dollar copyright violations has been delayed until November 18.
The head of an Australian music piracy investigations unit has warned that a recent court case in which three young men pleaded guilty to criminal charges related to music piracy has "exploded many of the myths" related to the Internet and copyright infringement.
