Roadshow Films Pty Ltd v iiNet Limited

iiNet vs. AFACT. iiNet wins, comprehensively. The summary makes for nice reading. I believe the government should take particular note of this part:

The law recognises no positive obligation on any person to protect the copyright of another.

I think the government neither has to decide what we can and can’t access on the internet and needs to recognise and encourage people to take responsibility for themselves.

Roadshow Films Pty Ltd v iiNet Limited includes summary No. 3 [2010] FCA 24 4 February 2010.

Funny stuff this, considering that the US created a cyber security force to protect its citizens from rogue organisations and governments, whereas the Chinese government cyber security is to protect the government from the people.

The government treating the internet like it does movies and TV is turning the whole filter and censorship issue into a farce.
