"Brendan Scott, a lawyer with Gilbert and Tobin, said it was uncertain whether MediaForce could bring legal proceedings against an Australian ISP. "The reason I say maybe is that the law prohibits reproduction and distribution to the public, but, from memory, doesn't directly impose obligations on third parties," he said."

Thirdly, the skills they learn can be applied to _any_ operating system.
Computerbank centres across Australia are doing it as you sleep:)

AOL redistributes and (IIRC) repackages IE.
They pay money to do that.
Every now & again we get another "leaked" memo/whatever from AOL hinting that they're going to drop IE.
