Aussie ISPs Propose AntiFileSharing Warning Notice Scheme
Five of Australia's largest ISPs have today put forward a detailed proposal to deal with the issue of illicit file-sharing.
The paper proposes the implementation of a warning letter process, but unlike the 3 strikes-style regime in neighboring New Zealand, would not include an Internet disconnection sanction. Instead, rightsholders would head back to the legal system to punish persistent infringers.
