Govt redacts ISP anti-piracy consultation text
news The Federal Government has quietly deleted a controversial section of text published in a consultation paper last Friday that proposed a “streamlined” legal process to aid anti-piracy organisations such as Movie Rights Group and AFACT to target individuals allegedly downloading copyrighted material online.
Last Friday, October 14, the Department of the Attorney-General published a consultation paper regarding digital copyright regulation. The original paper, available in full here (PDF), contained two discrete sections. The first dealt with a proposal to revise the scope of ‘safe harbour’ regulations to better protect organisations which host others’ content online.
However, it was the second section of the paper which garnered more attention, due to its included proposal aimed at “streamlining” the process whereby content owners can force ISPs to divulge details of their customers in copyright infringement matters. This is the process currently being used by a new company, Movie Rights Group, to seek the details of some 9,000 Australians who have allegedly infringed its clients’ copyright online.
