I agree with Frank's comments about iiNet's role but I was wondering what
is the "right way" for the right's holders to go about enforcing their
copyright.

Isn't copyright infringement a civil matter and thus would require a "John
Doe" court action, the judge could then grant a subpoena for the customer
details from the ISP and then the right's holder sues the correct person or
entity?

Or are the police still the first port of call?
