iiNet Case to Resume in August

Hollywood’s landmark copyright battle against Perth internet provider iiNet will resume in the Federal Court on 2 August. The full bench of the Federal Court will over four days hear an appeal against Justice Denis Cowdroy’s ruling in favour of iiNet last February. At the time Justice Cowdroy found that the ISP couldn’t be held liable for copyright breaches carried out by its customers. iiNet, which has lodged its own notice of contention against some aspects of the ruling, has been defending the allegations since November 2008
