Hilarious.

"The public broadcaster had cited its broadcast of series Doctor Who, 
arguing it had uploaded the premiere episodes of the past three series on 
its online platform iview at the same time they aired in the UK."

"This approach has allowed Australian fans to legally watch the show 
without any disadvantage to their UK counterparts,"

So THREE EPISODES of ONE PROGRAM over THREE YEARS - constitutes a 
"reasonable effort"?? I think it was also largely as a result of the BBC 
itself saying it would be available worldwide - if auntie hadn't done it, 
the BBC probably would have, and that would have been even more difficult 
for auntie to swallow!
