The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) has lost its High Court appeal in its long-running piracy battle with iiNet, which would seem to effectively draw a line under that particular legal case.

DanYes! take that copyright holders! Now, stop your whining and start making somewhere I can buy/rent everything and anything that’s ever been made with no DRM.
Why? Isn’t it obvious? you don’t want to be beholden to Apple forever do you? Stop seeing piracy as criminal activity (like illegal drug running and murder) and instead start looking at it as competition. It’s your product for cheaper!

GazzaWhy not for starters make everything available here at the same time or similar time to the US, and even better bring out a reasonable priced subscription service so ppl will not want to pirate as much
