iiNet has issued the following press release: “iiNet begins its defence in the Federal Court today against a selection of film and television industry organisations alleging that iiNet authorised customers to download films in breach of copyright laws. “iiNet will vigorously defend the Federal Court action and denies that it authorised such activity. “iiNet does not in any way support, or encourage, breaches of the law, including infringement of copyright. “To the contrary, iiNet is leading the industry by making legal content available in our ever-growing Media Lounge, in association with the rights owners. “iiNet already has agreements with, and makes content available freely to its customers from iTunes, ABC iView, Xbox 360, ninemsn, the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, Cruizin', Macquarie Digital TV, NASA Television, Barclays Premier League football, Drift Racing 2007, classic highlights of golf's four Majors and almost 70 radio stations. “iiNet has, and always will, abide by the law and has forwarded allegations of illegal activity involving services connected to the iiNet network to the relevant law enforcement agencies for their attention. “The law currently provides a process for investigating copyright theft or any other illegal activity using the internet. AFACT did not use this process. “iiNet’s Customer Relations Agreement clearly spells out that customers must comply with the law and that our service must not be used “to commit an offence or to infringe another person’s rights”.” |
