			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>iiNet vs. AFACT.  iiNet wins, comprehensively.  The summary makes for nice reading.  I believe the government should take particular note of this part:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal; font-size: small;">The law recognises no positive obligation on any person to protect the copyright of another.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>I think the government neither has to decide what we can and can&#8217;t access on the internet and needs to recognise and encourage people to take responsibility for themselves.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/FCA/2010/24.html">Roadshow Films Pty Ltd v iiNet Limited includes summary No. 3 [2010] FCA 24 4 February 2010</a>.</p>
