This story has been very much in the news over the past couple of years, 
Australian ISP iiNet being held accountable by AFACT who were asserting 
secondary liability against the ISP for its users use of BitTorrent to 
infringe movie copyrighted material.

Great outcome for Australia, all 5 judges supported iiNet being nothing 
more than a carrier, and therefore not responsible or accountable for 
its users uses.

Cheers
