In a landmark decision – and a stunning victory for common sense everywhere – iiNet has won their court case! Basically, a bunch of the big Hollywood studios sued this Australian ISP for allowing people to download copyrighted movies on BitTorrent. iiNet argued that they’re a service provider like the electricity company, and they have no duty to police the actions of their users. The case is a precedent-setter and has been followed extensively on tech blogs and news sites for the past few months. AND IINET WON! Excellent news.

and in a stunning defeat for common sense Men at Work lost their court case the very same day.
