Providers are not responsible for illegal downloading of users

A group of film majors in Australia has lost a lawsuit against an Intenet provider accused of allowing users to illegally download films. The group of majors had hoped to prove that the provider not only had taken no steps to stop users to download files violating copyright, but also had violated the copyright law itself. The Court ruled that there was no duty for the Internet Provider to check the copyright violation on downloding. This ruling could set a previous record for Internet providers throughout the world.
