Anon | Re: dodging the law in AUS Although i appreciate the thought, and always love hearing people who crave a conspiracy, it's just crap.
You may not realise this, but in Australia copyright laws and the like are MUCH stricter than in the US. Any company who makes it even slightly easier to breach copyright can easily by sued.
In fact, you can (not that it happens) be arrested for having a photocopier in a book store/library, which obviously contains copyrighted material, without putting a sign on it saying that reproduction of copyrighted material is criminal.
It sounds ludicrous, but if Napster were in Australia, the court case would have lasted two days. Bye bye open file-sharing. |
