This line got me:
The studios' lawyers admitted that DtecNet's evidence could only tell 
them that an iiNet user was illegally downloading, but could not 
identify the individual customer.

d'oh? So what was iiNet supposed to do? Shut down its entire customer 
base? This 'evidence' is certainly not enough by my interpretation, 
at least on the face of it. What it seems is the studios expect the 
ISP to datamatch for them.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
