Notice to all copyright geeks - Monday fun; Cooper judgment to be handed down
Judgment by the Full Federal Court is due in the Cooper litigation (first instance judgment here; commentary here, here, here, here) on Monday. Cooper deals with issues of authorisation of copyright infringement by an ISP, and by a website that linked to infringing MP3 files.
It's a biggie, in Australian copyright law terms. When, exactly, does one 'authorise' copyright infringement online? How current is Moorhouse now? What do all those Digital Agenda Act provisions really mean? Plus some cross-jurisdictional issues thrown in for fun... and unlike the Kazaa case, this one didn't settle to the disappointment of IP academics all over the country.
What a lovely (!) Xmas prezzie from the Full Federal Court.
