Australian Music, Software Groups Back Away From Internet Termination

June 6, 2011

The Australian Content Industry Group, which includes the music industry’s anti-piracy arm and the book, computer software and video game industries, has backed away from a call for a three strikes system leading to termination of Internet accounts. The group is still calling for “mitigation measures” but says loss of Internet access is not among them.

Considering the United Nations has said such actions are a violation of international civil rights, I would think this a prudent move.

The question becomes … What weird tactic will the content industry come up with to fail at next?

Look at actions, not words
When evaluating what they say, remember that United Nations is a club of dictators and their masters, headquartered in USA.
