The giants of the film industry have lost their case against ISP 
iiNet in a landmark judgment handed down in the Federal Court today.

The decision had the potential to impact internet users and the 
internet industry profoundly as it sets a legal precedent surrounding 
how much ISPs are required to do to prevent customers from 
downloading movies and other content illegally.

authorised customers to download pirated movies, Justice Dennis 
Cowdroy found that the ISP was not liable for the downloading habits 
of its customers.
