A-G to host roundtable on online copyright infringement
The Australian Attorney-General has announced that his department will host an industry roundtable seeking a consensus solution to combatting online infringement of copyright material. Despite the Attorney-General’s encouragement, copyright owners and ISPs have not been able to agree a procedure for removing the Internet access of repeat infringing downloaders. The roundtable is an attempt to break this deadlock. The implication is that if a consensus solution is not obtained, the government will legislate for one. Source: Australian IT
