Draft piracy code floats sending warning notices to offenders
A draft voluntary industry code of practice to fight online piracy has been released today with plans to send internet users illegal downloading content a series of warnings, and in extreme cases pursue legal action. 
The Communications Alliance which represents internet service providers and rights holders from the music, film, television and performing arts industries released the draft code today for public comment. The final version is to be submitted to the Australian Communications and Media Authority in April in time to meet a Federal Government deadline.
The code will only apply to residential fixed line connections leaving out mobile users or those using mobile broadband.
Haven’t they ever heard of a VPN. They can do whatever they like but the hardcore torrentors will remain.
Why not just send them a bill for what they’ve watched?
Another good point. In overseas court cases where exorbitant settlements are being chased. The judge usually rules that this is out of the question and usually settles for something much closer to the original price of the product.
And yet they wonder why pirating exists when channel 7 do things like not show the latest series premier well after the ENTIRE season has been seen overseas.
Everyone will just get a VPN – myself included!
