[AusNOG] iiNet / AFACT appeal dismissed

[Peter Tiggerdine]

I'd call this commiserations. Two of the chief justices sided with AFACT and
the findings seem to suggest that relying on current legislation is on
borrowed time. Nothing more. Common-sense would have being to throw it out
before it got the full bench of the high court.

iiNet have done well, but our industry as a whole will need to revisit the
issue in the no too distant future and come up with a new plan to mitigate
the legal risks. apprently offering legal methods isn't going to stop the
next ISP from being sued.
AFACT still have a right of appeal to the high court in Canberra. This waste
of public money is long from over.

Regards,

Peter Tiggerdine.
