Thread: Australia fighting for internet and P2P rights

Recently an Australian judge ruled that ISP's cannot be held responsible for the bittorrent activity of their clients. Meanwhile, the Aussie government is fighting the three-strikes and you are out provisions of ACTA. These are both great signs for our community.

You can read about it here:



Michael Geist - Australian Judge Explains Why Three Strikes Isn't Reasonable

You can read about the three-strikes provisions in ACTA in an earlier post I made on TI, here:

P2P under attack, ACTA secret negotions on now

This is the same government that wants to bring in a mandatory ISP level internet filter. I gues we can't have it all, especially when it involves politics!

They do seem a little Schizo when it comes to internet freedom.

Just wish we could do away with these archaic imposed "download limits" cause they really suck

I agree... The best I have found so far is 120GB/Month and that's still not enough!

Lucky for ISP's that are in Australia ,i always thought ISP's everywhere were not held respnsible for bittorrent activites.
