Copyright Infringement Case Clears ISP Of Responsibility [news.bbc.co.uk]
In the first case of its kind, an Australian court has ruled that an internet service provider cannot be responsible for illegal downloading.

iiNet, Australia's third largest ISP, was taken to court by a group of 34 movie production houses.

The group included the Australian divisions of Universal Pictures, Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox.

They claimed that iiNet was guilty of copyright infringement for not preventing illegal downloads of films.

let's be honest, youtube is almost exclusively used for consuming copyrighted content in one way or another. by now especially interesting as source for converting sound files.


Most of what I see on Youtube is legal, even on worst case assumptions (i.e. assuming that all big media/big name produced content is up in breach of copyright, which is not true)
