The final version of the proposed “three strikes” anti-piracy code for Australian internet service providers (ISPs) has been published recently. Under the Copyright Notice Scheme code (PDF), residential Internet users that are found pirating content will be subject to a series of "escalating" warning notices from rights holders, sent via ISPs. The notices will warn users that they are infringing copyright, and that they will face legal action if they get three strikes recorded against their IP address -- that is, if they receive an Education, Warning and Final notice -- within a 12 month period. If a user gets three warning letters, or "strikes", in a 12-month period, ISPs will help copyright owners identify them for potential legal action after a hearing in a prescribed court. Up to 200,000 notices can be processed and sent each year. An industry code has to be in place by September 1

I have been using purevpn for a few months now, has occasional speed issues but on the whole is easily the best I have tried so far

Same, works well for appropriating content as well as allowing me access to any Netflix I want.

That might be true for some, but not all. It still requires several 'packages' of foxtel, which goes back to my point - we should be able to be selective and have access to all US content as it comes out. I won't pretend to know how it can be done with everyone winning (Australian content providers obviously lose out if they aren't in the loop) but no doubt it should be much better than what it is.

This pretty much happens everywhere in the world. In the US, you need multiple different packages or streaming providers to get the content you want

Foxtels whole model is that they prop up the struggling channels in packages with the successful ones no way Foxtel can afford to show 84 different shows about storage locker auctions if people can pick which channels they want

But that is probably a good thing

They do, but what do people think will happen if Foxtel is broken down by channel?

It's like people think they will be able to get Fox Footy and Showcase for $5 a month each and opt-out of the rest.

Foxtel will just make the channels people actually want a lot more expensive than the ones they don't.

Lol

The ISPs are selling bandwidth. Enormous amounts of bandwidth are used for illegal content.

They're e only ones making money, I can't see them being too keen to penalise their own customers.

...so the obvious question then is that if they have introduced this law to shut down torrent sites...can they introduce a law to make ISP's filter access to VPN and or Proxy's?

Realistically? No. VPNs in particular have plenty of legal uses and are widespread in businesses and universities.
 
And I still haven't changed a thing
If the ******* campaigners gave world wide releases of all tv series at the same time then pirating would lower considerably.

Why the hell should I wait 3 months in Australia for a certain series that is airing around the world now.
If it was on my $140 a month foxtel package I wouldn't download it ffs.

Don't give me this taking money out of their pockets Goody too shoes bollocks either.

Global release
Decrease piracy

Tbh I couldn't give a * about movies
I usually wait till a bluray release and buy anyway
Wtf do I want to download a 14gig bluray movie for ffs.
In 3 months time the movie is $15 in jbhifi

Give me an infraction notice
I'll send you back a photograph of everything I've grabbed offline on my bluray shelve and tell ya to gagf.


World wide release for tv shows and stop your whining dickheads
 
Honestly doubt we'll ever see the day where torrenting ends. Not while the whole entertainment industry is run by greedy campaigners.

Really pissed KAT has been shut down though and the site basically barely is like it was.

It's too bad that KAT has gone down the shitter. Obviously didn't have much to do with our government, but as a result I've barely downloaded a thing in months.

Was easily the most accessible and quickest way to find almost any movie, album, book etc that I was after.

Can't be bothered with a new torrent service either.

What I've been saying for years has finally started to become true. Always maintained that when offered a proper service, plenty of people will avoid the torrents for the most part. Netflix and other streaming services have seemingly become a lot more popular here, and I've even heard people that are far less internet savvy than my generation talking about Netflix in public. Surprise, surprise.

Mr Burke likened those who engaged in illegal file sharing to drug dealers and career criminals. The name may conjure up “images of Johnny Depp and certain rebel Robin Hood type good guys,” he said. But “the pirates are not good guys. These aren’t roguish, basement dwelling computer geeks. “These are the same type of people that sell heroin.”

Righto mate, heroin dealers........

Mr Burke also used the address to highlight the dangers and problems in visiting file sharing sites, pointing out that pornography advertising accounts for the main source of income for sites that host illegal content
