It looks like piracy talks
have stalled down under because movie studios and ISPs can't agree on...well...pretty much anything.
A leading Australian Internet service provider has
pulled out of negotiations to create a warning notice scheme aimed at
reducing online piracy. iiNet, the ISP that was sued by Hollywood after
refusing to help chase down alleged infringers, said that it can’t make
any progress with righthsolders if they don’t make their content freely
available at a reasonable price. The ISP adds that holding extra data on
customers’ habits is inappropriate and not their responsibility.
