iiNet Charges Dropped
(crossposted from CreativeFreedom.org.nz)
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that some significant charges against the ISP iiNet have been dropped. iiNet were taken to court for passing on notices of copyright infringement to the police, and not just disconnecting their customers based on unsubstantiated accusations of copyright infringement. “AFACT lawyers failed to convince Federal Court judge, Justice Dennis Cowdroy, of its merit. The judge has ordered the studios pay iiNet’s court costs relating to that claim.” The remaining claims are still being argued in court (thanks Brenda)
