iiNet Welcomes Federal Court’s judgment. Australia’s second largest ISP iiNet had been sued by the film and television industry over copyright infringement by its customers. The action against iiNet was filed in the Australian Federal Court by Village Roadshow, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, Disney and the Seven Network.
This is a huge win for iiNet and for any other ISP provider. I wonder how this can affect sites such as YouTube, MetaCafe and JustinTv……. You can find the press release at iiNet Media Statement: iiNet

I’m interested in using some of your content for my blog. Please let me know if that’s OK and I will link back to this page.
This is an interesting judgment as it surely means that a precedent has been set and other judges are likely to follow this case if a similar battle ensues between networks and other ISP providers. Good news for the little people and other providers.
