Australian ISP settles with music industry
Steven Deare writes in C|Net News:
The case between the Australian music industry's antipiracy unit and Internet service provider Swiftel Communications has been settled out of court.
Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI) had alleged that Swiftel's employees and customers created a BitTorrent file-sharing hub to host thousands of pirated sound and video recordings.
Michael Kerin, MIPI general manager, would not reveal if a financial arrangement was involved, saying: "Let me put it this way--the music industry would never have settled the case unless it was on terms that suited it."
As part of the settlement terms, announced Friday, Perth-based Swiftel will implement a new process to deal with copyright-infringement notices issued by copyright holders.
