| 1227754 | 2011-08-31 22:40:00 | Yeah it's not all that bad. It's pretty retarded but oh well. If the link I posted has any element of truth behind it in this case (and I think it does) then the situation is a lot worse than just 'pretty retarded' |

| 1227755 | 2011-08-31 22:49:00 | Still can't believe people are worried about this new law. Firstly, you get two warnings before they can do anything. And those warnings expire in 9 months anyway. Secondly, if you haven't been doing any torrenting then what the hell are you worrying about? I've already said it, but I'm not going to change my "downloading" habits until I have two warnings from my isp. And even then, there are plenty of ways around it anyway. I personally just don't think they're going to enforce it very well. IIRC it costs the ISP something like $20 or $30 to lodge a warning (correct me if I'm wrong here) and even though they can't at the moment (they're gonna review it in 6 months); what ISP would want to disconnect a customer from using their service for doing something that really does not effect them at all. |

| 1227756 | 2011-08-31 22:56:00 | It's going to be interesting to see how this develops in a test case ... there seems to be a lot of holes in the legislation that the legal profession could use to their advantage. Wonder whether 12volts can get legal aid ??? |

It is the copyright holder that makes the complaint and pays the fee to the ISP All the ISP does is pass the warning notice to the account holder The legislation does not allow for the customer to be disconnected only a possible $15000 fine if it goes to the tribunal. |
