Australian Music industry attacks Internet body over MP3 case
ZDNet.com.au - Australia

Australia's music industry piracy investigations unit has accused the country’s peak Internet body of a "head in the sand" response to a Federal Court ruling that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) was liable for the copyright-infringing behavior of one of its customers.

Music Industry Piracy Investigations general manager Michael Kerin made his comments in response to claims by Internet Industry Association (IIA) chief executive Peter Coroneos and former music industry lawyer Alex Malik that the verdict in the Universal Music vs Cooper case had limited implications for ISP liability in cases of users infringing copyright on their networks.

"I think that trying to downplay the implications of this decision for ISPs within Australia is taking a ‘head in the sand’ attitude," Kerin said.
