Needless to say, although the Government is consulting with 'representatives of both copyright owners and the Internet industry in an effort to reach an industry-led consensus on an effective solution,' arguably the most significant group &mdash; ordinary Internet users &mdash; are not being consulted.

	<htmltext>Look at it this way- the recording and movie industries in America have tried for years to get court verdicts in their favor and have had one notable success (J Thomas, which is still under appeal if I'm not mistaken) out of the tens of thousands of cases they have pursued. Proving what was downloaded and by whom is nearly impossible, especially using the illegal means they use to collect the data in the first place.Having failed at litigation  and unable to provide admissible evidence for criminal investigations the industry is now trying to notify ISPs using illegally obtained evidence that won't stand up in court, that you are file sharing and have them disconnect you from the internet. That doesn't seem right to me.</htmltext>

<tokenext>I can give you several reasons why people think it 's fine to do ! Firstly we 're geeks here , denying that 80 \ % of us download TV and movies would be stupidity , I 'm sure we 've all been to astalavista for a crack now and then too.As I get older I do less of the dodgy stuff but for example , I 'steal ' TV shows from the US all the time , because they do n't air here at all , or at sensible times or within months of them airing in the US.Now sure , that 's a grey area to some you might say but the question then becomes , what is , or is not illegal ?
Me downloading those shows is most likely illegal but what if I really am going to buy the DVD ?
What if it 's going to air on TV in 5 weeks here anyhow , sadly at 11pm though ? There 's all kinds of complications here , what about someone who comes over to your house during a lan party , he boots his machine up and his torrent client slaps your connection ? Now that may or may not be feasable , I think it 's possible , in a worse case scenario - BAM there goes one of your strikes , you 've only got 3 of them and accidents do happen.Open wifi is the most obvious one , accidental click the list goes on.How do I even know the people claiming " I was the one who did it !
" have the right information ? How 's this , a little far fetched but possible.I 'm on ADSL right - so my ip address changes now and then.Some dodgy investigator in the states says he sees my ip at 3 : 00am downloading stuff and forwards this to his contact in Australia.this contact in Australia then contacts the ISP and says " this ip was stealing at 03 : 00am !
" My ISP look up the logs , my up comes up , bam a letter comes out to me and I get in trouble for 'stealing'Problem is the guy investigating is in a different timezone , my ip could have changed , not out of the realms of possibility at least.This is not something the government should be worrying themselves with , it 's just going to cause problems</tokentext>

Now they push for the extension of copyright, the reduction of fair use, and the exportation of US centric laws to stupid or greedy polititions in order recoup profits.

	<htmltext>The question is, how many times have people been lawfully charged and convicted of illegal file sharing in Australia?
I am not actually aware of any, sure the big movie companies and such send you emails accusing people of it all the time but lawfully charged and prosecuted?
If it's down to what the big companies think then very few people will have an internet connection by the end of the decade, and there's the problem, nobody is going to police it at a government level, they will all just process the reams of logs and traffic that some private eye contractor on behalf of 'corny entertainment' shoves in there face and the normally responsible person get persecuted, and not properly prosecuted.</htmltext>

And it will never happen for the same reason as internet filtering. This requires too much co-operation from ISP's and ISP's dont want to co-operate.<br> <br>

Telstra and Optus's bread and butter may be the clueless masses that pay A$50 a month for a 1 GB cap but other ISP's like iinet, internode, amcom and others depend on large volume users.

I do wish that they would hurry up and sack Conory, but then again Australia has never had a competent Telecommunications minister but I'd be willing to settle for one who is a little less dangerous.

Yes, there should be legal remedies for copyright violation.  They should be reasonable, and they should be properly targetted.
I am against excessively high statutory damages, any form of punishment that does not result from a courtroom trial, and any form of penalty or excessive inconvenience for legal downloading, and these sort of things are often proposed or even enacted.
</p><p>
For your question, people think it's okay to download stuff without paying for it because they aren't directly hurting anybody.  If you steal my car, I can't drive it.  If you take an exact copy of my car, I may well not notice, and I'm not inconvenienced.  In doing so, you have created a valuable object.  In economic terms, if a copy of a song is worth a dollar, and you make your own, you've increased the wealth of the world by a dollar, and that's a good thing.
</p><p>
The reason why this is bad is that it makes it hard for people who create things to get paid for it, and that can discourage them, for various reasons.  In the US, the only Constitutional basis for copyright is to encourage people to be creative.
</p><p>
It is also a justification that is inapplicable to modern copyright law, which goes far beyond any practical need for recompense.  Nobody's going to create something for the expected earnings twenty-eight years from publication, and so the old copyright law was perfectly adequate for encouraging creativity.  Moreover, the main copyright supporters confuse intellectual property (which exists conditionally) with physical property (which the Constitution respects).  (I here define intellectual property as rights granted according to whatever part of the Constitution that is, which includes patent and copyright.)
</p><p>
Therefore, the RIAA and cohorts have disregarded the Constitutional basis for copyright, and attempted to blur the difference between physical and intellectual property, been dishonest in their claims, and lobbied for laws that are arguably unconstitutional.  After that, they should not be surprised if people think it's okay to retaliate.</p></htmltext>

(I here define intellectual property as rights granted according to whatever part of the Constitution that is, which includes patent and copyright.
)

Therefore, the RIAA and cohorts have disregarded the Constitutional basis for copyright, and attempted to blur the difference between physical and intellectual property, been dishonest in their claims, and lobbied for laws that are arguably unconstitutional.
After that, they should not be surprised if people think it's okay to retaliate.</sentencetext>

It looks like people are wanting to just get free stuff, but the claim is different : they say that trying to protect a revenue stream based on the control and production of copies, in a world where making copies is basically free, is nonsensical and counter-productive.</htmltext>

Why do people think it 's okay to download stuff without paying for it ? The thing is , that 's only a tiny part of the real issue , and only acts to camouflage the real threat.The real threat is that the government will lose its initial sense of trepidation over filtering content it does n't like and start applying it wherever it finds an advantage to do so .
It only takes a little bit of time for a bureaucrat to become comfortable with previously unpalatable acts .
Laws like the Three Strikes rules can be used to enforce an autocracy .
If you can keep any particular group of people from communicating , you 've nullified their impact on society .
It starts with good reasons , good intentions , then progresses from there to " is it convenient " .
Pretty soon you 're seeing calls for increased monitoring to enforce compliance , then you have statistical modelling on top of that , then profiling , then ... pretty soon you ca n't talk to your friends or share photos without a license .
And how is this different from all previous evil governments throughout history , all of whom started with good intentions ? Is that what we want ?</tokentext>
