iiNet's legal counsel this morning cross-examined four senior Hollywood executives from Warner Bros, Disney, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures via video link, with the court hearing about the industry's long-running battle against piracy.
Justice Cowdroy, presiding over the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) versus iiNet copyright infringement hearing, today said he wanted to see a live demonstration of how BitTorrent is used to download movies.
iiNet has not admitted that any particular users have been infringing copyright in the next step for the court case brought against it by the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT).
The Federal Court's Justice Cowdroy noted in an initial hearing today that the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) would provide more information to iiNet on its case against the ISP by mid January in preparation for a scheduled hearing in early February.
iiNet's managing director Michael Malone yesterday vowed to fight the action filed against it in federal court by film and television giants, which alleged iiNet had failed to prevent customers from downloading pirated content.
As the two giants tussle for domination of online advertising dollars, it's increasingly clear that this tug-of-war is really a test of each company's corporate culture.
