Appeal Decision

The appeal was based on the allegations by the film industry, that because iiNet failed to "step-in" and police the internet after their customers received copyright infringement notifications by "Hollywood", they claim iiNet are in fact, authorizing their customers to download illegally. Australia's High Court unanimously ruled otherwise, and went a little further...."the court said iiNet's power to prevent customers from pirating movies and TV shows "was limited to an indirect power to terminate its contractual relationship with its customers".
