    Studios Urge ISP to Admit Piracy, Stop Wasting Court's Time

    Several studios are currently engaged in legal action against Australian ISP iiNet. They accuse iiNet of failing to take steps to stop its subscribers from sharing files by disconnecting them from the Internet. Now anti-piracy group AFACT says iiNet should just admit its customers are pirates, and stop wasting the court’s time.

    It is not the ISP job to see who is DL copy righted material. If AFACT wants it done pay for the extra expenses for iinet to comply with their demands. I bet that will not want to pay at all.

      That's dumb, though... you can be accused of piracy just by downloading a lot - even if it is legal.

      I mean, I like what my ISP does, they give you a warning, then another warning, and then finally they will terminate your service if they still think you're a pirate. And if you're not, you can just call them and explain it... my friend got a warning from the ISP and said he hasn't gotten one since.
