Having brewed for more than two years, the copyright case between iiNet and the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) may soon come to a close as both parties head off to the High Court.

More than two years after it began, there may finally be a definitive outcome in the historic AFACT vs iiNet court case.

AFACT has supplied iiNet internal emails to the court in a bid to demonstrate the ISP’s indifference to copyright infringements and its attempt to call in “a personal favour” from the WA Police. In response, iiNet dismissed the relevance of these emails to the case.

The Australian ISP community is holding its breath as the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) and iiNet enter the Federal Court over a landmark copyright case that has transpired over the past year.

iiNet has put forward a new defence in its court battle with the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) and has hired the help of an expert witness.

The Federal Court has tossed out Internet service provider (ISP), iiNet’s document discovery request in an ongoing copyright case against the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT). It also ordered the company to surrender a sample of 20 accounts.
