Australia’s music industry piracy investigations unit has raided an Internet service provider in Perth in what it says is the first Australian assault on the use of BitTorrent technology for copyright infringement.
Outgoing Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI) general manager, Michael Speck, said the raid was launched this afternoon at the offices of Swiftel Communications in the Western Australian capital’s central business district after federal magistrate Rolf Driver yesterday granted a civil search order.
Yup, that is correct. You read that right. The corporation raided the ISPs offices, not the government. No police were involved. Again, correct, corporations have the governments blessing to enforce the law themselves.
