EFA has mixed feelings on anti-piracy scheme
news Digital rights group Electronic Frontiers Australia has indicated there are both positive and negative aspects to a plan unveiled last week by the ISP industry to deal with Internet piracy.
The proposal is backed by major ISPs Telstra, Optus, iiNet, Internode and Primus, although other major players TPG, Dodo and Exetel have so far declined to back it. If enacted, it would see those pirating content such as films, TV episodes and games online served with warning and educational notices, with their details being provided to content owners through a subpoena legal process as a last resort.
The publication of the proposal represents the latest development in ongoing talks between the ISP and content industries over online copyright infringement in Australia, which have taken place both under the auspices of the Federal Attorney-General’s Department, as well as independently, in the shadow of the trial between iiNet and the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft, which represents a coalition of film and TV studios.
