Aussie Music Industry Sues ISP Over Filesharing

Posted by timothy on from the such-a-negligent-babysitter dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the world, the Australian music industry has listed an Internet service provider (ISP) as a respondent in a court case involving music piracy. The ISP is being sued for 'profiting' (by hosting it) from a site which distributes copyright-infringing material."

    Just because 50 million people decide that what they're doing is right and justifiable doesn't mean that they're right and justified.

    and what do you think determines right and wrong.. god? a billion people don't have a moral dilema stealing music, why? maybe its because deep down we KNOW that $3million/year is TOO MUCH fucking money for a 17yr old girl no matter how hot she is and no matter how good she sings.
