# *Big Movie Studios Lose Copyright Suit Against Australian ISP
<http://paidcontent.org/article/419-big-movies-studios-lose-copyright-suit-against-australian-isp/>*
It looks like in Australia, at least, there won't be any way for the
entertainment industry to get ISPs on the hook for internet piracy. The
judge left the door open to future lawsuits but suggests that they would
only succeed in cases where the ISP "authorized primary acts of
infringement." It's hard to imagine a case like that exists. - *Joe
Mullin, paidContent*
This was on Groklaw. http://www.groklaw.net/ news picks
Anyone who lobbies on this sort of thing should suggest we harmonize
with Australia on this.
