<div style="direction: ltr;">Mehmet,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I’m not your enemy here and I’m not your advisor, lawyer, antagonist.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">But if you take my “publicly available information” that is bound by copyright and then reproduce that on an atlas that you make available to other people. Where have I seen that before?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">https://www.itnews.com.au/news/pipe-settles-out-of-court-with-market-clarity-160382</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">That’s right. Just because it’s publicly available doesn’t actually give you the right to reproduce. If I wish to produce my network maps in low detail (rather than street level), image based (rather than CAD/KML) in my investor
presentations then that’s my business. There’s a reason I’m ok to reproduce my maps from data into a “presentation” is because that process is protected by copyright and actually means if you decide to reverse engineer same then you’re in breach and I can
sue you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">So if the Superloop network turns up in your atlas then, well there’s a very good chance you’ve breached copyright.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">***Details of settlement below****</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">PIPE Networks has settled out of court with Market Clarity over the analyst firm's allegedly unauthorised reproduction of detailed PIPE network maps in its research.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Chief executive of PIPE, Bevan Slattery, said today that Market Clarity had agreed to pay "a sum of money" to settle the matter.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">The analyst firm also agreed to "reduce the detail" of their depiction of PIPE's network in Market Clarity's Australian Telecom Infrastructure Atlas 2009.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">PIPE's network would now be "depicted in a 'logical diagram' fashion, and a disclaimer inserted to make plain that Market Clarity has not verified the accuracy of the maps".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Market Clarity was to also notify PIPE in advance of any proposed changes to the depiction of PIPE's network assets in the Atlas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">The settlement resulted from mediation ordered by the Federal Court, as revealed by iTnews.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">"This settlement is not a reflection on the strength of PIPE's case, but rather that PIPE was able to obtain a satisfactory outcome without the time and expense of going to trial," Slattery said.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">"PIPE values both its intellectual property and its reputation very highly. [We] will vigorously pursue anyone who it believes has infringed its intellectual property."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">PIPE had lodged an application back in April for injunctive relief restraining Market Clarity from reproducing, licensing, publishing or communicating to the public maps of PIPE Networks' fibre optic cables.</div>
