Notice the different type of ruling compared to the Grokster case. Different copyright laws in Oz. Not as much government "pull" as the entertainment business & RIAA, etc. has in the USA. And a more equal approach & future foreseeing in comparison. Glad the whole world is not 'totally' controlled by hitler run companies that tell the government which foot to put forward. Kazaa's influenced approach is what got it's foot into the mud patch. Australia will hopefully continue to keep an open mind to the future as suggested. p2p is here to stay.
I hope the Australian trade agreement doesn't affect local laws & influences & culture ... Australia doesn't need to become americanized! National pride amongst other things. Enough of politics. Back to culture & life.
BTW the few cases of p2p legal action in oz have been against mostly idiots. eg: a group of students who downlded music for free from university premises, & then sold bootlegs. They deserved to get their tails kicked. Fools! People who abuse the priviledges are abusing what the concept's all about.
