AU Gov't Still Wants ISPs To Solve Illegal Downloads

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday February 7, 2010 @02:36AM from the beaten-but-not-defeated dept.

bennyboy64 writes "Australia's Minister for Communications wants internet providers and the film industry to sit down and work out a solution to stop illegal movie downloads, despite a judge ruling in favor of an internet provider not being responsible for policing illegal downloads. The film studios first dragged internet provider iiNet into the Federal Court back in November 2008, arguing that the ISP infringed copyright by failing to take reasonable steps — including enforcing its own terms and conditions — to prevent customers from copying films and TV shows over its network."

I think it's high time we took copyright thieves to task and put them in jail for their fraud. They're actively undermining the works of artists and that's going to cause a long term effect on culture. We need for these sniveling twits to stop their illegal activities.
