Conroy calls for piracy code of conduct
Found on ZDnet on Saturday, 06 February 2010
In the wake of iiNet's recent court win, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Stephen Conroy has said that he wants the film and internet industries to sit down and try and work out a code of conduct to prevent pirating of copyrighted works rather than working towards legislation changes.
"I think it's always disappointing when situations like this end up in court in the first place," Conroy said.
And if the court would have ruled differently, industry executives and politicians would have hailed it as a victory for everybody. Unfortunately for them, the judge thought a bit different, so now, basically ignoring the ruling, Conroy tries to force the ISP's into talks.
