AFACT demands Govt action over iiTrial loss
news The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) today said its high-profile loss in its High Court case against ISP iiNet illustrated that Australia’s Government needed to step in and take action on the issue of Internet piracy in Australia.
This morning the High Court dismissed an appeal by AFACT and its cohort of several dozen film and TV studios, in the conclusion of a long-running case in which the content owners had alleged iiNet had authorised the infringement of copyright through not taking action against the pirating activities of its users through platforms such as BitTorrent. The case is viewed as setting a precedent for how Australian ISPs will deal with Internet piracy in future.
However, in a statement issued this afternoon, AFACT said the war was not over. “Today’s decision by the High Court exposes the failure of copyright law to keep pace with the online environment and the need for Government to act,” AFACT said in a statement this afternoon.
