I googled on Australia civil criminal copyright and it seems your laws
are a mixture of civil and criminal liability as I expected, depending
on what the offense was. There was a change in 2006 that criminalized
some specific stuff around software copying it seems, but the minor
noncommercial media copying law appears to remain a civil offense.
As one who deals with the Federal Police most often in supplying user
details for investigation for prosecution on these matters I can assure
you its more criminal :)
Even in Australia ;-) you might get into trouble calling people
"criminal" when nobody found them guilty and it would be a civil offense
anyway.
Actually, no, because I have the authority under the telecommunications
act to monitor any data passing through my network, either at direction of
a L.E.A, or because i "suspect" someone is up to no good, I can
guaranteee you, the people that try to do 300G a month are all illegal
p2p'rs, because they are the ones who cry the loudest when somthing does
not work or its going "slow", I and any of my associates look and we can
see what they are doing and know they are comitting offences, so we have
the captured proof, and "truth" is an acceptable defence.
tier 1 extortionate interconnects, we can pay anywhere up to 30 times
what U.S ISPs do per data (they blame it on the loooooooonnnnggggg trans
pacific haul), so there will never be such a thing as true unlimited on
a survivable business model in this country :)
Certainly not in any forseeable future.
Seems we agree greed and bad service from the carriers is the problem.
Well we had to agree to somthing adventually :)
But I still dont beleive that gives the users the right to treat their
conenction as a 1:1, they are in a shared pool, like all ISP's run, thats
why many ISP's have business grades, which are in fact 1:1, and should be
because they pay for it.
