Studios want copyright justice 'streamlined'

"The concern is that we send out 1000 infringement notices, and then someone says, 'The way to stall this is let's all go to arbitration', and a year later we could still be going through that same process."

"Do we get to the point where we have 1000 cases to be heard by the Copyright Tribunal? If everyone brings their lawyer, we will only do five in a day."

Ms Holloway-Smith says it is vital that independent experts make the decision over whether copyright has been infringed, and that people have the right to defend themselves in person. "Otherwise you risk innocent people being punished."
