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.
